Hello, The best option is to just use the live web link if you just want to use it and not bother with hosting an instance yourself.

Personally, I just used Python to host the page as per the instructions I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5050851/best-lightweight-web-server-only-static-content-for-windows

All I do is extract the contents of the release to a folder and then run the following command from that folder: python -m http.server 8000

After that, leave that window open and in a browser go to localhost:8000/index.html. This is exactly what I do while I develop the app and I've never had to do anything more. The contents of the release is also the only thing on the live github.io link so that helps to validate that the release itself is good.

If you don't want Python, try googling "free windows web server light". I tried that and the first hit I found was something called Regex Tiny Web Server (free). I downloaded that, configured the www folder and started the service and it came right up when I point the browser to it.

I can't really give you more advice on how to host a web page on your own computer, that is up to you.
