Now start your application locally using the `npm start` command:

<pre class="terminal">
$ npm start

&gt; cf-sample-app-nodejs@0.0.0 start /.../cf-sample-app-nodejs
&gt; node ./bin/www
</pre>

Open <a href="http://localhost:3000" target="_blank">http://localhost:3000</a> with your web browser. You should see your app running locally.

To stop the app from running locally, in the shell terminal, press `Ctrl+C` to exit.
