```bash
npm install --save webamp
```

From here you can import Webamp in your JavaScript code:

```js

// ... use Webamp here
```

## Import directly from a CDN

ES modules can be imported via URL directly inside a `<script type="module">` tag.

```html
<script type="module">
  import Webamp from "https://unpkg.com/webamp@^2/butterchurn";
  // ... use Webamp here
</script>
```
