Pattern Lab utilizes PHP's [built-in web server](http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php) to let you browse your generated patterns. To start the server do the following:

1. In a terminal window navigate to the root of your project

2. Type `php core/console --server`

Your local Pattern Lab install should now be available for browsing at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
