# Getting Started
TIP
Get Started with the Starter kit version and copy components from full version
We only provide documentation for custom components and customizations made to MUI's components. For MUI components' documentation please visit MUI's official docs (opens new window).
Heads Up!
When using Javascript version, please consider respective file paths, we only show ts & tsx file paths for reference code in documentation.
e.g. Following is the file path in TypeScript version: src/layouts/UserLayout.tsx
and consider looking at following path in JavaScript version: src/layouts/UserLayout.js
There can be two possibilities, you are planning to start a new project with our template or trying to add our template into your existing project.
# Starting a new project with our template
It is always suggested to get started with the minimal setup and we exactly provide that with our starter kit version.
Once you unzip the template you will find TypeScript / JavaScript version folder and under that full-version and starter-kit folders.
First step should be to verify all the dependencies and clean up all the packages that are not required for your project.
# What's the point including all the dependencies with starter kit?
Your question is totally valid and legit. To make the experience smoother, we have listed all the dependencies and provided freedom to remove dependencies which are not required in your project.
Searching for packages that are required and to install them can be difficult and confusing for new users. Hence, we have included all the packages in the starter-kit. New user can just copy components from full version without worring about packages.
# Integrating our template into your existing project
Since this is a template and a starter project, it’s built as the starting point of your project. It cannot be simply installed and used with an existing project like a third party library.
Although using our template with any existing project is still possible, it would require extra work to connect everything together. We strongly recommend you to either start your project with Materialize, or move your project on top of it to have the best experience.
# Follow Installation Guide
Next, Follow the installation guide once you streamline all the dependencies and make sure you meet all the system requirements mentioned in the installation page to run the project and read all the notices carefully given on the installation page.
# Demo Configs
You want your local template to look like one of the 6 demos you saw online then please follow demo configs documentation which will help you achieve your goal.
# FAQs
If you face any difficulties with installation, or has any question on usage of this template like changing colors, fonts, branding etc., then treat yourself by visiting FAQs section. You are most likely to find your answer there.
