and a whole lot more...

Getting Started

Set up your HTML markup.


<div class="your-class">
  <div>your content</div>
  <div>your content</div>
  <div>your content</div>
</div>

Move the /slick folder into your project

Add slick.css in your <head>


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick.css"/>

Add slick.js before your closing <body> tag, after jQuery (requires jQuery 1.7 +)


<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="slick/slick.min.js"></script>

Initialize your slider in your script file or an inline script tag


$(document).ready(function(){
	$('.your-class').slick({
	  setting-name: setting-value
	});
});

When complete, your HTML should look something like:


<html>
    <head>
    <title>My Now Amazing Webpage</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick.css"/>
    </head>
    <body>

    <div class="your-class">
        <div>your content</div>
        <div>your content</div>
        <div>your content</div>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="slick/slick.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $('.your-class').slick({
                setting-name: setting-value
            });
        });
    </script>

    </body>
</html>

NOTE: I highly recommend putting your initialization script in an external JS file.
