Start the project server from the current directory using the default port, which is the value of the parameter @racket[current-server-port] (by default, port @id[default-project-server-port]).
This command can be invoked with two optional arguments, and two optional switches.
@racket[raco pollen start _path] will start the project server from @racket[_path] rather than the current directory (making @racket[_path] its root directory).

@margin-note{Pollen defaults to port @id[default-project-server-port] because it's not commonly used by other network services. But Pollen has no idea what else is running on your machine. If @id[default-project-server-port] is already in use, you'll get an error when you try to start the Pollen project server. In that case, try a different port.}
Adding the optional @exec{-l} or @exec{--launch} switch will open the main project dashboard in your web browser after the project server starts.
Adding the optional @exec{--local} switch will restrict the project server to responding to requests from localhost. (By default, the project server will respond to requests from any client.)
