## Download and install
This is the *working repo* for Highcharts. If you simply want to include Highcharts into a project, use the [distribution package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/highcharts) instead, or read the [download page](http://www.highcharts.com/download). Please note that there are several ways to use Highcharts. For general installation instructions, see [the docs](http://www.highcharts.com/docs/getting-started/installation).

## Build and debug
If you want to do modifications to Highcharts or fix issues, you may build your own files. Highcharts uses Gulp as the build system. After `npm install` in the root folder, run `gulp`, which will set up a watch task for the JavaScript and SCSS files. Now any changes in the files of the `/js` or `/css` folders will result in new files being built and saved in the `code` folder. Other tasks are also available, like `gulp lint`.

```
npm install
gulp
```

## Usage in Node/Browserify/Webpack
This uses the [distribution package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/highcharts) which points to a separate repo.

```
npm install highcharts
```

```js
// Load Highcharts
var Highcharts = require('highcharts');

// Alternatively, this is how to load Highstock. Highmaps is similar.
// var Highcharts = require('highcharts/highstock');

// This is how a module is loaded. Pass in Highcharts as a parameter.
require('highcharts/modules/exporting')(Highcharts);

// Generate the chart
Highcharts.chart('container', {
  // options - see http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts
});
```
