How do I start using LiveReload?
Step 1. Get and install the app.
On a Mac:
- Download the latest stable version (v2.3.26) — provides an unlimited free trial and should recognize your Mac App Store license if you have one
- Purchase from the Mac App Store (v2.3.27)
- Is my Mac compatible with LiveReload?
- Download an alpha version (browser refreshing; compilation into the same folder; evolving quickly)
- Is my Windows PC compatible with LiveReload?
Step 2. Add your project folder to LiveReload (via drag-n-drop or by clicking the “+” button).
Step 3. Depending on your workflow and personal preferences, either install browser extensions, or insert a JavaScript snippet, or use a framework-specific plugin. See “How do I choose the best integration method?” and the articles linked from it for detailed instructions.
Now you should be all set. Open the site in your browser, change a file in your text editor and you should see the browser update. Change a stylesheet, and it should be applied live.
