## Installation
### npm
Installing with npm is recommended and it works seamlessly with [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/).
```shell
npm i element-ui -S
```
### CDN
Get the latest version from [unpkg.com/element-ui](https://unpkg.com/element-ui/) , and import JavaScript and CSS file in your page.
```html
<!-- import CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css">
<!-- import JavaScript -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/element-ui/lib/index.js"></script>
```
:::tip
We recommend our users to lock Element's version when using CDN. Please refer to [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com) for more information.

### Hello world
If you are using CDN, a hello-world page is easy with Element. [Online Demo](https://jsfiddle.net/hzfpyvg6/14/)
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<!-- import CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<el-button @click="visible = true">Button</el-button>
<el-dialog :visible.sync="visible" title="Hello world">
<p>Try Element</p>
</el-dialog>
</div>
</body>
<!-- import Vue before Element -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
<!-- import JavaScript -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/element-ui/lib/index.js"></script>
<script>
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: function() {
return { visible: false }
}
})
</script>
</html>
```
