Download an appropriate license of WebStorm, or use another JavaScript IDE
Open the project source code in IDE.
Inside Gruntfile.js project file, set the appropriate port number for nodejs development server to run
Open an operating system command console and locate the root of web app source code, where the Gruntfile.js file is located.
Start the development nodejs web server by running grunt serve command
Ensure the server is successfully started by looking at console message
It automatically opens the default web browser pointing to web application
Enjoy coding!
