Getting Started

Installation

No installation required — RFP Builder Portable is a single executable.

1. Download RFPBuilder-Portable.exe
2. Save it to any folder (Desktop, USB stick, etc.)
3. Double-click to run

First Launch

When you run the executable:

1. A console window appears showing server status
2. Your browser opens automatically to http://localhost:8080
3. The RFP Builder interface loads

Important: keep the console window open while using the app — closing it stops the server.

Stopping the Server

Two ways to stop:

1. Press Ctrl+C in the console window
2. Close the console window

Your data is saved in your browser’s localStorage and persists between sessions.

Troubleshooting

Console window disappears The console might be hidden behind your browser. Look for it in the taskbar, or use Alt+Tab to find it.

Port 8080 already in use Another application is using port 8080. Either stop the other application, or set a custom port before running the exe (set PORT=8081).

Browser doesn’t open Manually navigate to http://localhost:8080.

Data not saving Check the browser console (F12) for errors — localStorage might be disabled or full.
