## 🚀 Quick Start

### Option 1: Live Deployment (Recommended) Simply open SPACE WEATHER 4CAST.html in your browser:

  # Clone the repository
  git clone https://github.com/CryptoThaler/51M3NV.git
  cd 51M3NV

  # Open in your default browser (macOS/Linux)
  open SPACE\ WEATHER\ 4CAST.html

  # Or on Windows
  start "SPACE WEATHER 4CAST.html"

[!TIP]
For the best experience, use Google Chrome or Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave). Firefox and Safari are also fully supported.

Option 2: GitHub Pages

If hosted via GitHub Pages, access directly at:
https://cryptothaler.github.io/51M3NV/SPACE%20WEATHER%204CAST.html
Option 3: Local Server (Optional)

For development or enhanced security policies:
# Python 3.x
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Then visit: http://localhost:8000
[!NOTE]
The NOAA SWPC API is public and CORS-enabled. If you encounter CORS errors, your browser’s security policies may require serving via HTTPS or localhost. Use Option 3 above.
