Install jQuery
There are two ways to use jQuery.- Download: Download it locally from jQuery.com and use it.
- CDN access: You also have access to a CDN. The CDN will give you access around the world to regional data centers that in this case, Google host. This means using CDN moves the responsibility of hosting files from your own servers to a series of external ones. This also offers an advantage that if the visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of jQuery from the same CDN, it won't have to be re-downloaded.
Using Downloaded jQuery
Include the jQuery JavaScript file in the HTML page using following script:<head> <script src="/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script> </head>
Using CDN
