You can also skip the local setup entirely: open the repository in [GitHub Codespaces](https://codespaces.new/tabler/tabler) or a VS Code Dev Container — the configuration in `.devcontainer/` installs Node.js, pnpm and all dependencies for you.
+### Docker
+
+If you prefer not to install Node.js, build and run the provided image from the repository root:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t tabler .
+docker run -p 3000:3000 -p 3010:3010 -v $(pwd)/core:/app/core -v $(pwd)/preview:/app/preview -v $(pwd)/docs:/app/docs -v $(pwd)/shared:/app/shared tabler
+```
+
+This mounts the source directories into the container and exposes the preview on port 3000 and the documentation on port 3010. Edit anything in `core/`, `preview/`, `docs/` or `shared/` and the browser refreshes after the rebuild.
+
+Or use Docker Compose, which applies the same mounts and ports:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up --build
+```

## 🔎 Preview
-Tabler is fully responsive and compatible with all modern browsers. Thanks to its modern and user-friendly design you can create a fully functional interface that users will love! Choose the layouts and components you need and customize them to make your design consistent and eye-catching. Every component has been created with attention to detail to make your interface beautiful! [Show me a demo](https://preview.tabler.io)
+Tabler is a set of ready-made layouts, components and demo pages for admin panels, dashboards and web apps. Every component is built on Bootstrap 5, works in light and dark mode, and can be customized with Sass or CSS custom properties.
-## 🚀 Features
+- **Built on Bootstrap 5.** Bootstrap ships inside the package, so you only need one CSS and one JS file.
+- **120+ demo pages.** Dashboards, forms, tables, auth screens, error pages, marketing layouts and more, all in the [live demo](https://preview.tabler.io).
+- **Dark mode and RTL.** Every component has a dark color scheme, and every stylesheet ships in an RTL version.
+- **Over 6,000 icons.** [Tabler Icons](https://tabler.io/icons) are drawn on a 24×24 grid and match the UI kit.
+- **20+ plugins included.** Charts, date pickers, selects, sliders, editors, drag and drop and other libraries are bundled in `dist/libs`.
+- **Sass sources and TypeScript types.** Customize the theme with `@use … with ()` and use typed JavaScript components.
-We've created this admin panel for everyone who wants to create templates based on our pre-made components. Our mission is to deliver a user-friendly, clear and easy administration panel that can be used by both simple websites and sophisticated systems. The only requirement is basic HTML and CSS knowledge — as a reward, you'll be able to manage and visualize different types of data in the easiest possible way!
+## 🚀 Quick start
-- **Responsive:** With the support for mobile, tablet and desktop displays, it doesn't matter what device you're using. Tabler is responsive in all major browsers.
-- **Cross Browser:** Our theme works perfectly with the latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Edge and mobile browsers. We work hard to provide continuous support for them.
-- **HTML5 & CSS3:** We use only modern web technologies, such as HTML5 and CSS3. Our theme includes some subtle CSS3 animations, which will help you attract attention.
-- **Clean Code:** We followed Bootstrap's guidelines carefully to make your integration as easy as possible. All code is handwritten and W3C valid.
-- **Demo pages:** Tabler features over 20 individual pages using various components, which gives you the freedom to choose and combine. All components can vary in color and styling that you can easily modify using Sass. Sky is the limit!
