Very glad to hear it is working for you.  Note, the node.js web service
(on port 3000) is as far as I can tell a simple web server, and you can
use apache or any other web server to service the files under web/ if
you want to.

I believe this is due to the 'node' binary name in Debian already being
used by another package, and thus the javascript engine had to re
renamed to nodejs on Debian.l

Why did you have to modify /etc/hosts?  I would expect it to work to use
the IP address in the URL?

Very cool to see your import working.  I look forward to testing it on
larger data sets. :)
