# [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com)
Skeleton is a simple, responsive boilerplate to kickstart any responsive project.
Check out <http://getskeleton.com> for documentation and details.
## Getting started
### Install Global Dependancies
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)
* [bower](http://bower.io): `[sudo] npm install bower -g`
* [grunt.js](http://grunt.js); `[sudo] npm install -g grunt-cli`
### Install Local Dependancies
* Download zip or clone the repo
* cd to project folder
* run `[sudo] npm install` (first time users)
* run `grunt` (to watch and compile less files)
### What's in the download?
The download includes Skeleton's CSS, Normalize CSS as a reset, a sample favicon, and an index.html as a starting point.
```
skeleton/
├── index.html
├── css/
│ ├── normalize.min.css
│ └── skeleton.css
├── less/
│ └── skeleton.css
├── images/
│ └── favicon.ico
└── README.md
```
### Why it's awesome
Skeleton is lightweight and simple. It styles only raw HTML elements (with a few exceptions) and provides a responsive grid. Nothing more.
- Minified, it's less than a kb
- It's a starting point, not a UI framework
- No compiling or installing...just vanilla CSS
## Browser support
- Chrome latest
- Firefox latest
- Opera latest
- Safari latest
- IE latest
The above list is non-exhaustive. Skeleton works perfectly with almost all older versions of the browsers above, though IE certainly has large degradation prior to IE9.
