Magento 2 static files are not working

How many times you tried to install Magento 2 and later you could not see the website working !!, How many times you tried to search for these sentences 

"Magento 2 css not working"

"Magento 2 js not working"

"Magento 2 404 page not found" because of the static files?

Now here is the solution, and easily it is the missed .htaccess (for apache)

by quick look at this path "{magento root}/pub/static", you will see that you missed the .htaccess file

Now what you want is to create this file and put it in that directory and everything will work as expected 

you can get it from this repository 

https://github.com/magento/magento2

 

and here you will find a copy from the .htaccess file

 

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag engine 0
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php7.c>
php_flag engine 0
</IfModule>

# To avoid situation when web server automatically adds extension to path
Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    ## you can put here your pub/static folder path relative to web root
    #RewriteBase /magento/pub/static/

    # Remove signature of the static files that is used to overcome the browser cache
    RewriteRule ^version.+?/(.+)$ $1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

    RewriteRule .* ../static.php?resource=$0 [L]
    # Detects if moxieplayer request with uri params and redirects to uri without params
    <Files moxieplayer.swf>
       RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L]
     </Files>
</IfModule>
