In development environment, your app runs in a browser (of your choice). It is recommended to make all changes and development while running the app on browser . Running on device while developing will be too time consuming.‌ To run the app on browser, run ``` $ ionic serve ``` on your command line, inside your project folder. This will build the project and deploy it on a `localhost` url (usually it is `localhost:8100`). Your command line will look like this‌ ![](https://1774521080-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LqBqAw4qSMckDjeSSDw%2F-LqGO_Gi1JCkLUT9J3xO%2F-LqGjqDQZt3LTITbJaaY%2Fassets_-La-kqVz2Uq1Ka0VUWZT_-LaBSIQaCsUVAP5QmRgn_-LaBTFGrkCzUKYK6OGrN_Screen%20Shot%202019-03-17%20at%209.51.09%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=7d6e1442-2a98-403b-bb9f-8f984d7b8094) The initial deploy process will take some time when it creates "chunks" of code pieces. Once you see `compiled successfully` , you are good to go. Your browser window will open automatically and load the app in a full screen view.‌ To change the app to a device view, right click anywhere on the browser and choose `Inspect Element`and choose device mode.‌ More about browser development tools can be found out in following links‌ * ​[Chrome Dev Tools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/device-mode/)​ * ​[Firefox Dev Tools](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools)​
