## Quick start
There are 4 ways to get started with pico.css:
### Install manually
[Download Pico](https://github.com/picocss/pico/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and link `/css/pico.min.css` in the `<head>` of your website.
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css" />
```
### Usage from CDN
Alternatively, you can use [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@picocss/pico) to link pico.css.
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.min.css" />
```
### Install with NPM
```shell
npm install @picocss/pico
```
Or
```shell
yarn add @picocss/pico
```
Then, import Pico into your SCSS file with [@use](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use):
```SCSS
@use "pico";
```
### Install with Composer
```shell
composer require picocss/pico
```
### Starter HTML template
```HTML
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css">
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
```
## Class-less version
Pico provides a `.classless` version.
In this version, `<header>`, `<main>`, and `<footer>` inside `<body>` act as containers to define a centered or a fluid viewport.
Use the default `.classless` version if you need centered viewports:
```html
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.classless.min.css"
/>
```
Or use the `.fluid.classless` version if you need a fluid container:
```html
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.fluid.classless.min.css"
/>
```
Then just write pure HTML, and it should look great:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.classless.min.css"
/>
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
```
## Limitations
Pico CSS can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, its designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate any helpers or utilities `.classes`, this minimal CSS framework requires SCSS or CSS knowledge to build large projects.
