Installing OpenLayers

---------------------
21

    
22
You can use OpenLayers as-is by copying build/OpenLayers.js and the
23
entire lib/ directory up to your webserver, putting them in the same
24
directory. To include the OpenLayers library in your web page, use:
25

    
26
  <script type="text/javascript" src="OpenLayers.js" />
27

    
28
If you want to use the multiple-file version of OpenLayers (for, say,
29
debugging or development purposes), copy the lib/ directory up to your
30
webserver in the same directory you put the img/ folder. Then add
31
the following to your web page instead:
32

    
33
  <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/OpenLayers.js" />
