**Infusion** is built using the static site engine, [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), and NPM. The codebase is available to download on Github. Let's get set up step-by-step.
## 1. Install Hugo
First we need to install Hugo globally.
### OSX users
If you are a Mac user and have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) on your system, installing Hugo is simple:
{{<cmd>}}brew install hugo{{</cmd>}}
Alternatively, you can manually [install Hugo from a package](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases). You can verify the installation was successful by typing:
{{<cmd>}}hugo version{{</cmd>}}
### Windows users
Installing on Windows is a bit more involved than on OSX. The authors of Hugo provide [a guide](https://gohugo.io/tutorials/installing-on-windows/) with instructions for technical and less technical users.
## 2. Install Node & NPM
It is likely you already have Node and NPM installed on your system. If so, you can skip this step. Otherwise, [refer to NPM's own guide](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node), which includes a video tutorial.
## 3. Getting the files
**Infusion** is hosted on Github. To start using it, you'll need to get the files from there. If you are comfortable with the command line, just fork the [github.com/heydon/inclusive-pattern-library](https://github.com/heydon/inclusive-pattern-library) repository, then do a `git clone` to your local system. Replace `[your username]` in the following:
{{<cmd>}}git clone https://github.com/[your username]/infusion.git{{</cmd>}}
If the command line is not your thing, fork [github.com/heydon/inclusive-pattern-library](https://github.com/heydon/inclusive-pattern-library) and choose **Open in Desktop** from **Clone or download** (see figure 1, below).

If you do not have a version of the Github desktop client installed, follow the prompts after clicking **Open in Desktop**.

Once you have your local copy of the files, move to the root of that folder and in your terminal run an npm installation:
{{<cmd>}}npm install{{</cmd>}}
Now it's time to consult the {{% pattern "Library setup" %}} pattern.
