Angular Installation

Manual installation (zip package)

Step 1

Download MDB 4 Angular Free or MDB 4 Angular Pro package

MDB Angular download

Step 2

Unzip downloaded package and open it in the code editor

Step 3

Install dependencies. Depending on your node module manager, run:


        npm install
      

        yarn

Step 4

Run your application.


        ng serve --o

Step 5

Explore our documentation (menu on the left). Choose components you like, copy it to your project and compose your website. And yes, it's that simple!

Note: Manual installation with a .zip package is the easiest way, but many useful features are not available there.
To use the full potential of MDB and all available options, we recommend installation through MDB CLI.

MDB CLI

CLI installation is the most efficient way to use MDB. It enables options such as:

  • Free hosting (supports custom domains, SSL, FTP access)
  • Install any MDB package with a single command
  • Easy updates with a single command
  • Backend starter templates (Laravel, plain PHP, node.js & more)
  • WordPress setup in 3 minutes (blog, ecommerce or blank project)
  • Git repository for you and your team

Advanced installation (schemantics)

From MDB Angular 6.3.0 there's possibility to install MDB Angular Free by using ng add command.

Step 1

Create new project:


        ng new your-project-name

Step 2

Add MDB Angular Free configuration: 


        ng add angular-bootstrap-md

NPM

Prerequisites

  • Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
  • Angular CLI: npm install -g @angular/cli
  • Git - required in npm installation of MDB Angular Pro package

Step 1

Create new angular project using Angular CLI command:


            ng new your-angular-project --style=scss

Step 2

Open the project in the code editor

Step 3

Install @angular/cdk package (required only for MDB Angular version 9.0.0 and later):


            npm install @angular/cdk --save

Step 4

Install MDB Angular Free:


            npm install angular-bootstrap-md --save

Step 5

Update the app.module.ts file with the following code:


            import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
            import { MDBBootstrapModule } from 'angular-bootstrap-md';
            @NgModule({
                imports: [
                    MDBBootstrapModule.forRoot()
                ]
            });

Step 6

Update styles and scripts arrays in angular.json file: 


            "styles": [
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss",
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid.scss",
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular.scss",
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands.scss",
              "node_modules/angular-bootstrap-md/assets/scss/bootstrap/bootstrap.scss",

            ],
            "scripts": [
              "node_modules/chart.js/dist/Chart.js",
              "node_modules/hammerjs/hammer.min.js"
            ],

Step 7

Install external libraries


            npm install -–save chart.js@2.5.0 @types/chart.js @fortawesome/fontawesome-free hammerjs animate.css

Step 8

Run application


            ng serve --o

Prerequisites

  • Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
  • Angular CLI: npm install -g @angular/cli
  • Git - required in npm installation of MDB Angular Pro package

Step 1

Create new angular project using Angular CLI command:


            ng new your-angular-project --style=scss

Step 2

Open the project in the code editor

Step 3

Install @angular/cdk package (required only for MDB Angular version 9.0.0 and later):


            npm install @angular/cdk --save

Step 4

Generate new GitLab token (see token generation section)

Step 5

Use generated token to install MDB Angular Pro package


            npm install git+https://oauth2:YOUR_TOKEN@git.mdbootstrap.com/mdb/angular/ng-uikit-pro-standard.git --save

Step 6

Update the app.module.ts file with the following code:


            import { MDBBootstrapModulesPro } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
            import { MDBSpinningPreloader } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
            import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
            ...
            imports: [
                ...
                MDBBootstrapModulesPro.forRoot(),
                ...
            ],
            providers: [
            ...
            MDBSpinningPreloader,
            ...
            ]

Step 7

Update styles and scripts arrays in angular.json file: 


            "styles": [
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss",
              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid.scss",

              "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands.scss",
              "node_modules/ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/bootstrap.scss",
              "node_modules/ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/mdb.scss",
              "node_modules/animate.css/animate.css",
              "src/styles.scss"
            ],

and scripts:


            "scripts": [
              "node_modules/chart.js/dist/Chart.js",
              "node_modules/easy-pie-chart/dist/easypiechart.js",

            @fortawesome/fontawesome-free animate.css

Step 9

If you want to use maps you will have to npm i --save @agm/core and then add import { AgmCoreModule } from '@agm/core'; to your app.module. To use them you will also need to add it to your imports AgmCoreModule.forRoot({ apiKey: 'Your_api_key' })

Step 10

Run application


            ng serve --o

Install specific version

When you install MDB from our GitLab server, the latest version of the library will be downloaded by default. You can add #version_number at the end of the installation command in order to install specific MDB version. 


        npm install git+https://oauth2:YOUR_TOKEN@git.mdbootstrap.com/mdb/angular/ng-uikit-pro-standard.git#12.0.0 --save

Token generation

Step 1

Visit https://git.mdbootstrap.com and log in. If you are a PRO user, you should receive an email (from GitLab) with an activation link, after purchase (please check your spam folder as well). This email is send to the email address used for billing.

Step 2

From top right corner click at your avatar and choose "Setting → Access Tokens."

Step 3

Provide a Name for your token and choose "api" from scopes. Then click "Create personal access token"

add token

Step 4

Once your token will be generated make sure to copy it and store in safe place. You won't be able to access it again. In case of lose, you will have to generate new token again.

Snapshot builds (developer versions)

It's possible to download snapshot build (developer version).

MDB Angular Free:


        git clone -b dev https://github.com/mdbootstrap/Angular-Bootstrap-with-Material-Design

MDB Angular Pro:


        npm install git+https://oauth2:<your-auth-token>@git.mdbootstrap.com/mdb/angular/ng-uikit-pro-standard.git#dev --save

Please note that the developer version is the one we are working on when writing patches. This version is not stable and can cause problems in your project.
