Install with Node.js package manager (npm)
Requirements
-
If you have not already installed version 4.2.0 or later of Node.js, install the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version.
cd
to the root of your project and check if you have apackage.json
file. If you do not have the file, create it by running:npm init
Install Dart Sass - version 1.0.0 or higher.
GOV.UK Frontend also works with:
- LibSass - version 3.3.0 or higher
Ruby Sass - version 3.4.0 or higher
However, we recommend you do not use either LibSass or Ruby Sass, as they’ve been deprecated.
You can also install Nunjucks v3.0.0 or later if you want to use GOV.UK Frontend’s Nunjucks macros.
Install GOV.UK Frontend
Run:
npm install govuk-frontend --save
When the installation finishes, the govuk-frontend
package will be in your node_modules
folder.
You should now get started by getting the CSS, assets and JavaScript working with one GOV.UK Frontend component.
