## Using npm to install

**We recommend using npm to install**，it not only makes development easier，but you can also take advantage of the whole ecosystem.

If using npm to install, you could use `import` or `require`.

Stable version：

[![npm package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/antd.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/antd)

```bash
$ npm install antd --save
```

## Import in Browser

[![CDNJS](https://img.shields.io/cdnjs/v/antd.svg?style=flat-square)](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/antd)

We provide `antd.js` `antd.css` and `antd.min.js` `antd.min.css` under `antd/dist` in antd's npm package, in order to import all the components of antd directly. Also, you can use [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/).

> It's not recommended to use the already built files, as you cannot get bugfixes from the dependencies of antd.
