### Learn

* [About Snap.svg](http://snapsvg.io/about/)
* [Getting Started](http://snapsvg.io/start/)
* [API Reference](http://snapsvg.io/docs/)

### Use

In your HTML file, load simply by: `<script src="snap.svg-min.js"></script>`
No other scripts are needed. Both the minified and uncompressed (for development) versions are in the `/dist` folder.

### Build

Snap.svg uses [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) to build.

* Open the terminal from the Snap.svg directory:

        cd Snap.svg

* Install its command line interface (CLI) globally:

        npm install -g grunt-cli

_*You might need to use `sudo npm`, depending on your configuration._

* Install dependencies with npm:

        npm install

_*Snap.svg uses Grunt 0.4.0. You might want to [read](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) more on their website if you haven’t upgraded since a lot has changed._

* Type `grunt` in the command line to build the files.
* The results will be built into the release folder.
* Alternatively type `grunt watch` to have the build run automatically when you make changes to source files.
