MDB 5 Angular Pro plugins installation guide

Manual installation (zip package)

Step 1

Download the package from orders.

Step 2

Unzip the downloaded package and open it in the code editor. Inside package.json file you will find plugins added as dependencies. The modules and stylesheets for all plugins have been imported respectively into the app.module and styles.scss files.

Step 3

We recommend that you remove unnecessary plugins from the project (package.json, app.module and styles.scss) in order not to increase the weight of the application.

Step 4

After selecting the necessary plugins, proceed with the installation.

        
            
            npm install
      
        
    

Step 5

Explore our documentation (plugins section in the menu on the left). Choose plugin you like, copy it to your project and compose your website. And yes, it's that simple!
