+# Alpine.js Documentation - Essentials
+
+There are 2 ways to include Alpine into your project:
+
+* Including it from a `<script>` tag
+* Importing it as a module
+
+Either is perfectly valid. It all depends on the project's needs and the developer's taste.
+
+## [From a script tag](#from-a-script-tag)
+
+This is by far the simplest way to get started with Alpine. Include the following `<script>` tag in the head of your HTML page.
+
+```
+<html>
+
+
+n<head>
+
+
+n...
+
+
+n<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email\(protected\)]/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
+
+
+n</head>
+
+
+n...
+
+
+n</html>
+```
+
+> Don't forget the "defer" attribute in the `<script>` tag.
+
+Notice the `@3.x.x` in the provided CDN link. This will pull the latest version of Alpine version 3. For stability in production, it's recommended that you hardcode the latest version in the CDN link.
+
+```
+<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email\(protected\)]/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
+```
+
+That's it! Alpine is now available for use inside your page.
+
+Note that you will still need to define a component with `x-data` in order for any Alpine.js attributes to work. See <https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine/discussions/3805> for more information.
+
+## [As a module](#as-a-module)
+
+If you prefer the more robust approach, you can install Alpine via NPM and import it into a bundle.
+
+Run the following command to install it.
+
+```
+npm install alpinejs
+```
+
+Now import Alpine into your bundle and initialize it like so:
+
+```
+import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
+
+
+nwindow.Alpine = Alpine
+
+
+nAlpine.start()
+```
+
+> The `window.Alpine = Alpine` bit is optional, but is nice to have for freedom and flexibility. Like when tinkering with Alpine from the devtools for example.
+
+> If you imported Alpine into a bundle, you have to make sure you are registering any extension code IN BETWEEN when you import the `Alpine` global object, and when you initialize Alpine by calling `Alpine.start()`.
+
+> Ensure that `Alpine.start()` is only called once per page. Calling it more than once will result in multiple "instances" of Alpine running at the same time.
