You should now be able to find the front page of your publication by starting a browser and visiting http://host-name:8100 (where host-name is one of the publication host names you specified in step 5). The publication will be rendered using the Twig templates you configured with the publications/templateDir parameter.

To view the style guide, open a browser and go to http://localhost:8103/. For further information, see Working With Twig and Patternlab.
