# Installation
Choose how to add Creator Plugins UI to your project.

There are two ways to use the library. Pick whichever fits your workflow.

## Package

Install the full library as an npm dependency. Every component is available from a single import.

```bash
npm install @lottiefiles/creator-plugins-ui
```

See the [Package guide](/en/creator-plugins/ui-library/installation/package) for setup details.

## Registry

Install individual components as source code using the shadcn CLI. You get full control over each file.

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @lottiefiles/button
```

See the [Registry guide](/en/creator-plugins/ui-library/installation/registry) for setup details.
