Getting Started
===============
Installing
----------
The various Classes and Functions are available to be imported
manually from sub-packages under the
[@ethersproject](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40ethersproject%2F)
but for most projects, the umbrella package is the easiest way to
get started.
```
/home/ricmoo> npm install --save ethers@next
```
Importing
---------
### Node.js
```
// CommonJS
const { ethers } = require("ethers");
// ES6 or TypeScript
const { ethers } = require("ethers");
```
### Web Browser
It is generally better practice (for security reasons) to copy the
[ethers library](https://cdn.ethers.io/lib/ethers-5.0.min.js) to
your own webserver and serve it yourself.
For quick demos or prototyping though, it can be loaded in your
Web Applications from our CDN.
```
<script src="https://cdn.ethers.io/lib/ethers-5.0.min.js"
type="application/javascipt"></script>
```
