git clone https://github.com/GitbookIO/nuts
npm install
Set env variable

Can someone point me to the right direction? cc @SamyPesse

The issue is that port 6000 is blocked by many browsers. It is blocked to protect against cross-protocol scripting attacks as a vulnerable service (X11) runs on this port.

To fix the issue simply use another port (eg. 5000) which is not blocked or in use.

export PORT=5000

For a complete list of blocked ports and for more background see: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/PortBanning.html https://code.google.com/archive/p/browsersec/wikis/Part2.wiki#Port_access_restrictions
