# CodeMirror 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
**NOTE:** [CodeMirror 6](https://codemirror.net/) exists, and is more mobile-friendly, more accessible, better designed, and much more actively maintained.

|
||
|
|
||
|
CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for
|
||
|
the browser. It is specialized for editing code, and comes with over
|
||
|
100 language modes and various addons that implement more advanced
|
||
|
editing functionality. Every language comes with fully-featured code
|
||
|
and syntax highlighting to help with reading and editing complex code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A rich programming API and a CSS theming system are available for
|
||
|
customizing CodeMirror to fit your application, and extending it with
|
||
|
new functionality.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can find more information (and the
|
||
|
[manual](https://codemirror.net/5/doc/manual.html)) on the [project
|
||
|

|
||
|
### Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
Either get the [zip file](https://codemirror.net/5/codemirror.zip) with
|
||
|
the latest version, or make sure you have [Node](https://nodejs.org/)
|
||
|
installed and run:
|
||
|
|
||
|
npm install codemirror@5
|
||
|
|
||
|
**NOTE**: This is the source repository for the library, and not the
|
||
|
distribution channel. Cloning it is not the recommended way to install
|
||
|
the library, and will in fact not work unless you also run the build
|
||
|
step.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Quickstart
|
||
|
|
||
|
To build the project, make sure you have Node.js installed (at least version 6)
|
||
|
and then `npm install`. To run, just open `index.html` in your
|
||
|
browser (you don't need to run a webserver). Run the tests with `npm test`.
