<h2>
Getting started with Select2
</h2>
<p>
In order to use Select2, you must include the JavaScript and CSS file on
your website. You can get these files built for you from many different
locations.
</p>
<h3>
Using Select2 from a CDN
</h3>
<p>
Select2 is hosted on both the
<a href="https://cdnjs.com/libraries/select2">cdnjs</a> and
<a href="http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!select2">jsDelivr</a> CDNs, allowing
you to quickly include Select2 on your website.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Include the following lines of code in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>
section of your HTML.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;link href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.0/css/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
&lt;script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.0/js/select2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<i class="fa fa-info-circle"></i>
Immediately following a new release, it takes some time for CDNs to
catch up and get the new versions live on the CDN.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Initialize Select2 on the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> element that you
want to make awesome.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
$('select').select2();
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
</li>
<li>
Check out the <a href="examples.html">examples page</a> to start using
the additional features of Select2.
</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Downloading the code locally
</h3>
<p>
In some situations, you can't use Select2 from a CDN and you must include
the files through your own static file servers.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
<a href="https://github.com/select2/select2/tags">
Download the code
</a>
from GitHub and copy the <code>dist</code> directory to your project.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Include the following lines of code in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>
section of your HTML.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;link href="path/to/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
&lt;script src="path/to/select2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
</li>
<li>
Check out the <a href="examples.html">examples page</a> to start using
the additional features of Select2.

<h2>
The different Select2 builds
</h2>
<p>
Select2 provides multiple builds that are tailored to different
environments where it is going to be used. If you think you need to use
Select2 in a nonstandard environment, like when you are using AMD, you
should read over the list below.
</p>
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Build name</th>
<th>When you should use it</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr id="builds-standard">
<td>
Standard (<code>select2.js</code> / <code>select2.min.js</code>)
</td>
<td>
This is the build that most people should be using for Select2. It
includes the most commonly used features.
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="builds-full">
<td>
Full (<code>select2.full.js</code> / <code>select2.full.min.js</code>)
</td>
<td>
You should only use this build if you need the additional features
from Select2, like the
<a href="options.html#compatibility">compatibility modules</a> or
recommended includes like
<a href="https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mousewheel">jquery.mousewheel</a>
</td>
