# Need jQuery?
The template is written in vanilla JavaScript and doesn't use any jQuery-dependent libraries; therefore, jQuery is not included in the package. So jQuery-based functions like $('.selector') won't work out of the box.
However, if you really need this library, you can include it manually before all template scripts and use it as usual. You can host it locally or use a CDN:
...
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- TEMPLATE SCRIPTS -->
<script src="js/vendor.js"></script>
<script src="js/framework.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<!-- - TEMPLATE SCRIPTS -->
</body>
</html>
