D3.js is quite hard to get your head around. Especially with little experience of JavaScript, of course.

I am trying to recycle the marvel.html graph, available here, which uses d3.js v4.0. This code works on this bl.ocks page, but does not render on any of my Mac and Linux machines.

I have run basic bl.ocks examples on these machines, and they render fine. Any friendly soul, who could take the time to help me out in understanding why the marvel.html (with the entire library cloned) won't run on any of my machines? Seeing that the data is in the json file, and that d3.js is called via https and not a local file, I think it should work locally if it works on bl.ocks... Thanks!

Where is your JSON data file? Is it on your local file system? – altocumulus Nov 28 '20 at 16:44
Yes, it is the same file structure as https://github.com/jrladd/marvel_network – Simon Lindgren Nov 28 '20 at 18:15

You need to set up a local server, you cannot just access the file system. Have a look at the question I closed this as being a duplicate of. – altocumulus Nov 28 '20 at 18:21
