This page walks through the shortest way to get Tabler running: one HTML file, two tags from the CDN, and a page you can open in the browser. There's no build step involved.
## Setup
### Create a basic HTML file
Start with a new `index.html` file in the root of your project. It only needs the usual HTML skeleton and a `` tag, so the page scales correctly on phones:
```html
Tabler demo
Hello, world!
```
### Add Tabler CSS and JavaScript
Next, add Tabler's CSS and JavaScript. These two tags load the core files from the CDN:
```html
```
Put the stylesheet in `` and the script at the end of ``. The file then looks like this:
```html
Tabler Demo
Hello, Tabler!
```
That's the whole setup. The CSS covers the layout and components, and the script adds the interactive parts such as dropdowns and modals.
If you'd rather not depend on a CDN, you can download the files and serve them from your own project. The [Download](/ui/getting-started/download) page explains how.
### Open in your browser
Save the file and open it in your browser. You should see your first page styled by Tabler. From here you can add a layout, drop in components and build up the app.
If you want to see what's possible, the demo pages at [preview.tabler.io](https://preview.tabler.io) show every layout and component in use. The rest of this documentation covers each of them in detail.
