| 5 | +**D3** (or **D3.js**) is a JavaScript library for visualizing data using web standards. D3 helps you bring data to life using SVG, Canvas and HTML. D3 combines powerful visualization and interaction techniques with a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation, giving you the full capabilities of modern browsers and the freedom to design the right visual interface for your data. |

| 15 | +## Installing |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +If you use npm, `npm install d3`. Otherwise, download the [latest release](https://github.com/d3/d3/releases/latest). The released bundle supports anonymous AMD, CommonJS, and vanilla environments. You can load directly from [d3js.org](https://d3js.org), [CDNJS](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/d3), or [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/d3/). For example: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```html |
| 20 | +<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.js"></script> |
| 21 | +``` |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +For the minified version: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +```html |
| 26 | +<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script> |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +You can also use the standalone D3 microlibraries. For example, [d3-selection](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection): |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```html |
| 32 | +<script src="https://d3js.org/d3-selection.v1.js"></script> |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +D3 is written using [ES2015 modules](http://www.2ality.com/2014/09/es6-modules-final.html). Create a [custom bundle using Rollup](https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/bb09af4c39c79cffcde4), Webpack, or your preferred bundler. To import D3 into an ES2015 application, either import specific symbols from specific D3 modules: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```js |
| 38 | +import {scaleLinear} from "d3-scale"; |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Or import everything into a namespace (here, `d3`): |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```js |
| 44 | +import * as d3 from "d3"; |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +In Node: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```js |
| 50 | +var d3 = require("d3"); |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +You can also require individual modules and combine them into a `d3` object using [Object.assign](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign): |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```js |
| 56 | +var d3 = Object.assign({}, require("d3-format"), require("d3-geo"), require("d3-geo-projection")); |
| 57 | +``` |
