Beacon - Installation

Installing beacon.li

To get started with beacon.li and incorporate it into your project, you'll need to follow these simple steps for installation.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, ensure that you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. If you haven't already, you can download them from nodejs.org.

Installation

Once you have Node.js and npm set up, open your terminal or command prompt and execute the following command to install Beacon.li:

npm install @beacon.li/bar

OR

yarn add @beacon.li/bar

OR

If you want to use a <script> tag instead, you can use the below code snippet which will import and load the beacon bar directly without npm package.

<script>
(function(b,e,a,c,o,n) {b[c] = {orgId:n, open:()=>{b[c].opened=true}};
  var s = e.createElement(a);
  s.src='https://cdn.beacon.li/sdk/latest.js';s.async=true;s.type='module';
  var d = e.createElement(o);
  d.id='beacon-user';
  e.body.appendChild(d);
  e.head.appendChild(s);
})(window, document, 'script', 'BeaconBar', 'div','ORG_ID');
</script>

This code will fetch the latest version of beacon.li and add it as a dependency to your project.

That's it! You're now ready to start using beacon.li in your project. If you encounter any issues during installation or have questions about how to use beacon.li, refer to our comprehensive documentation or reach out to our [email protected] for assistance.
