Executing "ng serve" or "npm start" command browser is not opening automatically

I have generated a project using angular-cli by following steps given in installation section. Project is running right now. But i have to open browser manually by typing http://localhost:4200/ into browser.

Could it be possible like when user will execute "ng serve" or "npm start" command, browser will open automatically?

Please let me know if it is possible or give me any solution for this.

Per the documentation you can use a flag with ng serve:

--open (-o) Opens the url in default browser.

You may need update your version for this functionality, as the revision history of the wiki page suggests it's a recent addition.

One developer of theangular-cli team said on Jun 17, 2016;

We don't have this functionality at the moment, no. But I'll leave the issue open as a 'nice to have'.

but

You could just change what npm start does in the package.json.

E.g. change

"start": "ng serve"

to

"start": "start http://localhost:4201 & ng serve -port 4201"
