## Using Shower

There are two ways of making presentation using Shower: you can just download an archive with all you need or you can install needed Shower modules using [npm](https://www.npmjs.org) or [bower](http://bower.io).

### Simple Way

In a simple way you just download the latest Shower version with built-in themes and use it.

1. Download and unarchive [shower.zip](http://shwr.me/shower.zip)
2. Open `index.html` in any code or text editor, edit your slides in HTML
3. Use `pictures` folder for pictures used in presentation
4. Once finished, open `index.html` in a browser, enter full screen and start presenting

### Advanced Way

Advanced way allows you to manually install needed Shower packages and requires [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) installed together with package managment system: `npm` or `bower`.

1. Run `npm install shower-core shower-ribbon`
2. Link core and theme files in `node_modules` folder to your presentation file
3. You probably know what to do next, it’s an advanced way

**Note:** you can use `bower` instead of `npm` or `shower-bright` instead of `shower-ribbon` in command above to install Shower using Bower or get Bright theme.
