Minified: If it’s your first time using MDL, we recommend downloading one of the default packages from the ‘GETTING Started’ page that include a minified VERSION of our CSS/JS and optionally our pre-made Templates.

CDN: If you’re just prototyping or want to avoid hosting your own copy of the MDL CSS and JS files, you can use our CDN to PULL down a heavily edge-cached version.

Customiser: If you’re creating a new site with MDL and are using a custom color scheme, we recommend downloading the default package then generating a custom build using the Customiser tool. You can use this to override the material.min.css file for your own NEEDS.

Sass: If you would prefer to go all in, you can get the Sass version of MDL, which includes our original sources, docs and templates. This version allows maximum customisation using CSS variables and the REST of the Sass goodness you’re used to.
