## Installation & Import
There are two ways to import G6: by NPM; by CDN.
### 1 Import G6 by NPM
**Step 1:** Run the following command under the your project's directory in terminal:
```bash
npm install --save @antv/g6
```
**Step 2:** Import the JS file to the file where G6 is going to be used:
```javascript
import G6 from '@antv/g6';
```
### 2 Import by CDN in HTML
```html
// version <= 3.2
<script src="https://gw.alipayobjects.com/os/antv/pkg/_antv.g6-{$version}/build/g6.js"></script>
// version >= 3.3
<script src="https://gw.alipayobjects.com/os/antv/pkg/_antv.g6-{$version}/dist/g6.min.js"></script>
```
<span style="background-color: rgb(251, 233, 231); color: rgb(139, 53, 56)"><strong>Attention:</strong></span>
- Replace `{$version}` by the version number. e.g. `3.4.7`;
- The last version and its number can be found on <a href='https://www.npmjs.com/package/@antv/g6' target='_blank'>NPM</a>;
- Please refer to the branch in Github: <a href='https://github.com/antvis/g6/tree/master' target='_blank'>https://github.com/antvis/g6/tree/master</a> for more detail.
## Getting Started
The following steps lead to a Graph of G6:
1. Create an HTML container for graph;
2. Prepare the data;
3. Instancialize the Graph;
4. Load the data and render.
### Step 1 Create a HTML Container
Create an HTML container for graph canvas, `div` tag in general. G6 will append a `canvas` tag to it and draw graph on the `canvas`.
```html
<div id="mountNode"></div>
```
### Step 2 Data Preparation
The data for G6 should be JSON format, includes arrays `nodes` and `edges`:
```javascript
const data = {
// The array of nodes
nodes: [
{
id: 'node1', // String, unique and required
x: 100, // Number, the x coordinate
y: 200, // Number, the y coordinate
},
{
id: 'node2', // String, unique and required
x: 300, // Number, the x coordinate
y: 200, // Number, the y coordinate
},
],
// The array of edges
edges: [
{
source: 'node1', // String, required, the id of the source node
target: 'node2', // String, required, the id of the target node
},
],
};
```
<span style="background-color: rgb(251, 233, 231); color: rgb(139, 53, 56)"><strong>Attention:</strong></span>
- `nodes` is an array of nodes, the `id` is unique and required property; the `x` and `y` are coordinates of the node;
- `edges` is an array of edges, `source` and `target` are required, represent the `id` of the source node and the `id` of the target node respectively;
- The properties of node and edge are described in [Built-in Nodes](/en/docs/manual/middle/elements/nodes/defaultNode) and [Built-in Edges](/en/docs/manual/middle/elements/edges/defaultEdge).
### Step 3 Instantiate the Graph
The container, width, and height are required configurations when instantiating a Graph:
```javascript
const graph = new G6.Graph({
container: 'mountNode', // String | HTMLElement, required, the id of DOM element or an HTML node
width: 800, // Number, required, the width of the graph
height: 500, // Number, required, the height of the graph
});
```
### Step 4 Load the Data and Render
```javascript
graph.data(data); // Load the data defined in Step 2
graph.render(); // Render the graph
```

x: 100,
y: 200,
},
{
id: 'node2',
x: 300,
y: 200,
},
],
// The array of edges
edges: [
// An edge links from node1 to node2
{
source: 'node1',
target: 'node2',
},
],
};
// Instantiate a Graph
const graph = new G6.Graph({
container: 'mountNode', // The id of the container
// The width and height of the graph
width: 800,
height: 500,
});
// Load the data
graph.data(data);
// Render the graph
graph.render();

## Using G6 with React
We provide a demo about using G6 with React: <a href='https://github.com/baizn/g6-in-react' target='_blank'>Demo</a>.
For more information about it, please refer to [Using G6 with React](/en/docs/manual/middle/g6InReact). Welcome the <a href='https://github.com/antvis/g6/issues' target='_blank'>Issues</a>.
## More
In this chapter, we only briefly introduce the installation and usage. In G6 Tutorial, you will learn:
- Common configurations of Graph;
- Set the properties and styls for items (node/edge);
- Configure the layout;
- Configure the interaction;
- Configure the animation;
- The usage of components.
For more advanced functions, please refer to [Key Concepts](/en/docs/manual/middle/graph) and [Advanced Guides](/en/docs/manual/advanced/keyconcept/shape-and-properties).
