Included is a sample app and sample specs. Open SpecRunner.html and run the included specs. Both the source files and their respective specs are linked in the <head> of the SpecRunner.html. To start using Jasmine, replace the source/spec files with your own. Then load the SpecRunner.html in your favorite browser. You don't need a web server to run the standalone distribution, but it helps. Some browsers limit the error information that they provide to scripts running from file:// URLs, and this can make it harder to debug uncaught exceptions and unhandled promise rejections. If that's a concern, consider using a simple web server like the one provided by the serve package.
