I want start using the framework foundation for sites but after reading the DOCS (http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/installation.html) I got confused:

  • Why I should use a package manager to download a bunch of html, css and javascript file?
  • Or is there something else in the pile?

I'm working on windows and I know what are more or less html, css and javascript, but I'm new to frontend framework.

Thanks for your attention.

Download foundation first here complete-f6.zip. Then use foundation.min.css and foundation.min.js (of course include jquery.js) on your page and you're free to use whatever is in the foundation docs.

Since you're new, I would recommend using Yeti Launch. Yeti Launch allows you to create a Foundation 6 project with a Basic or Advanced template. The templates use a package manager with everything wired up for you.

With Yeti Launch you get the benefits of a build system (browser reloading, page templates, minification/concatenation, include only the components you use, autoprefixes, etc.) and you don't have to use the command line if you're not comfortable with it.

  • Are there a lot sub-tool to understand with this build system? – optimusfrenk Jan 22 '16 at 08:50
  • If you use the basic template, no, but you will be lacking in the features I listed. The main thing you need to know for the Advanced/Zurb template is the page template system Panini: http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/panini.html – Colin Marshall Jan 22 '16 at 17:26
