As a single-page javascript app - you can run Heimdall-Lite from any web-server, a secured S3 bucket or directly via GitHub Pages (as it is here). Heimdall-Lite gives you the ability to easily review and produce reports about your InSpec run, filter the results for easy review and hot-wash, print out reports, generate System Security Plan (SSP) content, and much more.
There are two versions of the MITRE Heimdall Viewer - the full Heimdall and the Heimdall-Lite version. We produced each to meet different needs and use-cases.

Heimdall Lite is a standard VueJS app so for help with a local deployment, please see: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/deployment.html#general-guidelines
Heimdall Lite is published to the <npmjs.org> MITRE site at https://www.npmjs.com/package/heimdall-lite.
To run Heimdall Lite locally, just use the npm built-in utility npx:
npx heimdall-lite
If you use this tool often and want to have it installed locally, use the following command:
npm install -g heimdall-lite
Then, any subsequent npx heimdall-lite will use the local version and load much more quickly.
