## Introduction
You’re free to use tiptap with the framework of your choice. Depending on what you want to do, there are a few different ways to install tiptap in your project. Choose the way that fits your workflow.
## Option 1: Vanilla JavaScript
Use tiptap with vanilla JavaScript for a very lightweight and raw experience. If you feel like it, you can even use it to connect tiptap with other frameworks not mentioned here.
```bash
# with npm
npm install @tiptap/core @tiptap/starter-kit
# with Yarn
yarn add @tiptap/core @tiptap/starter-kit
```
Great, that should be enough to start. Here is the most essential code you need to get a running instance of tiptap:
```js
import { Editor } from '@tiptap/core'
import defaultExtensions from '@tiptap/starter-kit'
new Editor({
element: document.getElementsByClassName('element'),
extensions: defaultExtensions(),
content: 'Your content.
',
})
```
## Option 2: Vue.js
To use tiptap with Vue.js (and tools that are based on Vue.js) install tiptap together with the Vue.js adapter in your project. We even prepared a Vue.js starter kit, which gives you a good headstart.
```bash
# with npm
npm install @tiptap/core @tiptap/vue @tiptap/vue-starter-kit
# with Yarn
yarn add @tiptap/core @tiptap/vue @tiptap/vue-starter-kit
```
Create a new component and add the following content to get a basic version of tiptap:
### Nuxt.js
Note that tiptap needs to run in the client, not on the server. It’s required to wrap the editor in a `` tag.
