Replace /path/to/serve with the path to the directory you want to serve, and PORT_NUMBER with the port number on which you want to serve files. By default, Miniserve uses port 8080.
For example, to start serving files from the /var/www/html directory, run the following command:
miniserve /var/www/html --port 8080
