Installing and testing

If you choose to fork or clone these examples to experiment with them, be aware that WebGL requires that any textures or other binary data be loaded from a secure context, which means you can't just use most of these samples from a file:/// URL. Instead, you need to run a local web server, or post them to a secure server online.

See our article How do you set up a local testing server? if you need help getting one set up. Alternatively, if you have Nodejs installed, you can also look at https-localhost.
