I know that Treasure said she would go over this in a later video, but I really wanted this information now (as I'm sure of my colleagues reading this do too).

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 28,962 PointsHey Ian, if you want to run jQuery locally, it's really as simple as adding it as an external file the same way you would with any other JavaScript file. First go to the jQuery website: https://jquery.com/ and download the jQuery file (I highly recommend the minified file). Then copy and paste this script tag into your code: <script text="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> and you'll be ready to write jQuery for your own projects on your local drive.
Note: Make sure you specify the correct file path to the script tag based on where you save a copy of the jQuery file on your machine. Happy coding!

Courses Plus Student 10,685 PointsMichael Cook absolutely! That's a great way. This was just easier for me since I had node installed.
