## 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：

```

## Import in Browser

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 [npmcdn](https://npmcdn.com/).

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

## Development tool

We provide React components [Scaffold tool](https://github.com/ant-design/antd-init).
