# Quickstart

> Start building with UI Foundations Kit in under 5 min

To get started with UI Foundations Kit you can open up the downloaded source code for you project and navigate into a root directory.

The project is intentionally built to rely on **few external dependencies and no external or 3rd party services**, so your set-up time can be easy and painless.

## Requirements

You'll need a JavaScript package manager like `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm`, or `bun`, any should work, but we use the default: `npm` in most cases.

Inside the root directory of a project (where you find the `package.json` file), run the install command:

```
npm install
```

## Edit and preview

To make changes and see them live, run the local server start script with:

```
npm run dev
```

This will open a port at a location noted in your terminal or shell, for Vite it's [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173).

From here, you should see the landing page, and be able to open up the code in your favorite editor and begin to make changes.
