# Getting started

## Installation

To use angular-datatables, you need to have Node 6.9.0 or higher and NPM 3 or higher installed.

The documentation will only deal with projects that use angular-cli. Indeed, the front-end ecosystem is evolving at a pace I can't follow anymore. Thus, there will only have a tutorial for angular-cli's project. If you managed to make it work in, for example, SystemJS projects, please submit a pull request to improve this documentation. Thanks!

#### Angular-CLI version 1.0.3

I recommend using angular-cli to create and manage your angular project

I prefer to warn you the demo was developpped in version 1.0.3 and older and newer versions of Angular-CLI may need to have different configuration.

#### NPM

You need to install its dependencies before getting the latest release using NPM:

## Setup

#### .angular-cli.json

Add the dependencies in the scripts and styles attributes:

#### NgModule

Import the `DataTablesModule` at the appropriate level of your app.
