The quickest way to get acclimated is to look at the examples above. Each demo
has a link to a [CodePen][codepen] so that you can edit the code and try it
yourself. We have included a number of utility packages to help you get started:

*   [@mediapipe/drawing_utils][draw-npm] - Utilities to draw landmarks and
    connectors.
*   [@mediapipe/camera_utils][cam-npm] - Utilities to operate the camera.
*   [@mediapipe/control_utils][ctrl-npm] - Utilities to show sliders and FPS
    widgets.

Note: See these demos and more at [MediaPipe on CodePen][codepen]

All of these solutions are staged in [NPM][npm]. You can install any package
locally with `npm install`. Example:

```
npm install @mediapipe/holistic.
```

If you would rather not stage these locally, you can rely on a CDN (e.g.,
[jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/)). This will allow you to add scripts
directly to your HTML:

```
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mediapipe/drawing_utils@0.1/drawing_utils.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mediapipe/holistic@0.1/holistic.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</head>
```

Note: You can specify version numbers to both NPM and jsdelivr. They are
structured as `<major>.<minor>.<build>`. To prevent breaking changes from
affecting your work, restrict your request to a `<minor>` number. e.g.,
`@mediapipe/holistic@0.1`.
