If you're using express you need to assign a folder as the public folder

eg

server.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

Can I do it only with default modules? And I would like to get link on a article with detail description of actions that i need to do (or only detail description without link =) ).

@user805222 unsure what you're asking but it's definitely a different question. You should flesh out your questions with code samples and just other information as it's hard to know what kind of answer you're looking for. If you're looking for a node.js server tutorial just google it...

SIMPLEST WAY

npm install statik

var statik = require('statik');
statik({
    port: 1337,
    root: '/Users/<yourUserName>/Downloads/DurandalJS/HTMLStarterKit'
});

In your browser: http:// yourLocalhost :1337/index.html
