Jim:

MAMP on Mac or WAMP on Windoze. It is super-easy to setup, at least on Mac, and has worked really well for me (haven't used WAMP but it should be pretty easy too from what I hear). the pro version allows you to support several virtual hosts, but the free version might actually be enough for what you want. You can run pages in a local Apache or nginx server and look at hem in whatever browsers you want. I stay away from Windoze as much as possible so I can't really respond to the LINUX framework question.

Fell free to contact me if you'd like further info.

Best,

Hi,
Where would I find instructions for setting up a local web development environment I could use to test various JavaScript or other frameworks for accessibility either on Windows or Mac? Also, does it make sense for me to set up the Linux subsystem in Windows 10 for something llike this, or just what kind of set-up makes the most sense for a screen reader user with either Mac or Windows. Note that I am just now learning basic JavaScript and hope to get deeper into coding for accessibility in about six months.

Thanks.

Jim
