How do I install this plugin?

WHERE do I place this? npm install frosted-glass --save
Guys, please. Help. I never understood this npm install.
I want to use this thing Adrian made since background filter blur doesn’t work on firefox. But I cannot figure out how to install it. I placed the tag it in head html and did everything else but this npm install.

Hi,

You run this in a terminal in your project root. It will create a node_modules folder with the library (and any dependencies it might have) inside. Note, that to run that command, you must have Node and npm installed on your machine.

Alternatively, you can grab the library off of unpkg:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/frosted-glass@0.3.1/dist/frostedglass.js"></script>

Here’s a demo of it working on CodeSandbox. Notice the include in the head of the document.

Well, thank you James! You lost me at terminal and project root. I don’t even have a terminal. But I did try unpkg and it won’t work, even pasted in head and a section of his HTML to mine and it just won’t work. :frowning: maybe…there’s an issue with it? could that be the case?

Don’t think so.
Try copy/pasting the following code and running it on your machine.
Does that work?

that works! but when i use my own code and add that container it just shows a transparent box. i think I’ll just use his whole code and switch things around. lol

That’s good.

If I was you, I would start stripping his code away bit by bit until you isolate the effect that you want.

Show us the code you’re using that doesn’t work.
