## Install

> Vue 3 support is on the `beta` channel: `vue-select@beta`, and will become the new default when `v4` is released. See [#1579](https://github.com/sagalbot/vue-select/issues/1597) for more details!


**Vue 3 / Vue Select 4.x-beta**
```bash
yarn add vue-select@beta

# or use npm

npm install vue-select@beta
```

**Vue 2 / Vue Select 3.x**
```bash
yarn add vue-select

# or use npm

npm install vue-select
```

Then, import and register the component:

```js
import Vue from "vue";
import vSelect from "vue-select";

Vue.component("v-select", vSelect);
```

The component itself does not include any CSS. You'll need to include it separately:

```js
import "vue-select/dist/vue-select.css";
```

You can also include vue-select directly in the browser. Check out the
[documentation for loading from CDN.](https://vue-select.org/guide/install.html#in-the-browser).
