Question

Nginx

I installed a test Angular2 application on the server from the documentation - tour of heroes, and in order to run it you need to enter npm start, which starts the typescript compiler, and light-server. That's when I close the terminal or the ssh connection breaks, this server process crashes and the page is no longer available. How can I run npm start so that it doesn't close when I exit the terminal?
