The ethers.js library is a compact and complete JavaScript library for Ethereum.

|
Installing in Node.js
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
From your project directory::
|
|
|
|
/Users/ricmoo/my-project> npm install --save ethers
|
|
|
|
And from the relevant application files::
|
|
|
|
var ethers = require('ethers');
|
|
|

|
|
Including in Web Applications
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
For security purposes, it is usually best to place a copy of `this script`_ on
|
|
the application's server, but for a quick prototype using the Ethers CDN (content
|
|
distribution network) should suffice::
|
|
|
|
<!-- This exposes the library as a global variable: ethers -->
|
|
<script src="https://cdn.ethers.io/scripts/ethers-v2.0.min.js" type="text/javascript">
|
|
</script>
|
|
