I have configured my `package.json` with this:

```auto
  "scripts": {
    "build": "gatsby build",
    "start": "gatsby serve",
    ...
  }

```

So first the build is run, which produces static HTML/CSS/JS, then gatsby serve just spins an HTTP server serving those assets from localhost:9000. As the screenshot above shows, that command starts fine: “Running on port 9000”.
