localhost webpage on other devices to be clear  it provides a link with the link anybody can be   forwarded to a specific local host hosted with  the device i will discuss more about local hosts like how to install a local host on your computer  how to host webpage using localhost etc things in   the very next videos now let us move to the video  but first i will download and install ngrok so   let's open a browser simply go to the website  ngrok.com you will be taken to ngrok's website   you have two buttons here login and sign up if you  are new just click on the sign up button i'm also   clicking in the sign up button this is the sign up  page you can fill up your name email address here   and sign up but there is a option bro sign up with  google i will click here and select my account and   sign up it's quite easy here is the dashboard of  ngrok there is a button download for windows let's   download it here is the file it's a zip file  let's unzip it 7zip and extract to ngrok ... here   is the folder containing the ngrok application  i will rename the folder and just make it um   ngrok it's a simple name and we have ngrok.exe in  the folder let's open it okay so this is the ngrok   application opening with cmd here is the options  you can do with ngrok but before using ngrok we   have to link our account with this which we have  previously signed up to do it go back to the ngrok   dashboard come to the second step connect your  account then copy the whole command copy the whole   command but accept this dot and slash because this  dot and slash is for linux commands and copy it   go back to the ngrok application then paste it  here it is pasted then hit enter it is saying that   auth token means authentication token it's saved   to configuration file which is named ngrok.yml now   we are ready as i told you it's give a link which  forwards to the local host hosting with the device   so let's host a local host let's start the local  host... xampp server xampp control panel and here is   our control panel if you don't know about xampp  and localhosts don't be worried I will soon make   video on this and this will be available soon  in the description box okay let's start apache   and showing that the localhost port is 80. let's  go to the localhost 80. let's type localhost   okay so in my localhost there is a message showing  testing is successful this is a simple website   hosting with my localhost or it's a simple page  which shows the message testing it successful now this page is available only in my device now  how can we make available this in all devices   ngrok will help us now type the ngrok command  ngrok space http space the port number which is 80   80 press 80 and hit enter okay see our session is  online and here is the link forwarding link which   will forward to the local host let's copy the  forwarding link control c and let's paste it here   okay see with this link it's showing my local  host my localhost will be available in all devices   with this link now there is other things  you can do with ngrok come here to a new tab   type ngrok.com slash docs docs and hit enter  there is many things you can do there is the   other feature I like it password protecting  your tunnel means anybody who want to access the   server you have to give user name and password  copy this command let's see it how it works   go to ngrok and then paste it here here our  port is 80. okay i'm just making the username   and password as default and hit enter this is the  link and this link is password protected control c   then control v and asking for  username and password so this was   default username was username was username  and password was password okay and sign in   yes with the password and username you can  access it you have to give the username here   what username you are wanting give here the  username and password here you can check out   this ngrok.com docs and make anything with the  ngrok of application wait wait i have another   thing to say i have another tip about ngrok you  have to open ngrok.exe before starting a session   but how is it if we just open command prompt or  any terminal and type just ngrok command indirect   space http space 80 and get our session but there  is a problem it's showing that ngrok is not an   internal or an external command I will solve it go  to the folder where ngrok.exe exists remind make a   separate folder for ngrok.exe and here it is copy  the path okay now search for environment variables   open it click on environment variables then select  the path variable here and click on edit then add   a new variable paste the path here which we have  previously copied and click on ok now do the   same thing here for system variable select the  path variable click on edit add a new variable   paste the path here and click on  okay we're ready click on ok here   now let's open cmd and i think that it is solved  okay let's write the ngrok command in ngrok space   http space 80 hit enter yes it's working you have  not to open ngrok.exe before starting any session   it is easy to you i love easy things open  any terminal and type the ngrok commad
