Pixi.js Installation Confusion

[OhNoItsATornahdo]

I'm developing a game and I plan on using Pixi.js for it. I tried installing Pixi.js on my computer by using the NPM install and it did create the node_modules file but, when I tried implementing Pixi.js into my app.js file, I got an error on the browser saying PIXI is not defined. I assumed this meant that it was still not implemented despite installing it. I even tried starting fresh by creating a new project with npm init and then typing npm install pixi.js. So I tried searching for an installation tutorial and couldn't find anything, so I'm pretty stressed out from all this. Is there something I'm missing? Is there something I'm not doing right?

`npm install pixi.js` simply downloads the file into the node_modules directory, it is still up to you to ensure your HTML file loads it (along with your scripts).

So if I did this in my HTML file:

<script src="node_modules/pixi.js/dist/pixi.js"></script>

Should it work?

If you copy the file into the same directory as index.html it should work with src="pixi.js"

Or you can use something like Browserify to handle using npm modules.

If you are running the server locally on your machine and this translates to a valid url, yes this should work fine.
