PouchDB can also be directly downloaded:

• pouchdb-6.3.4.min.js (compressed for production)
• pouchdb-6.3.4.js (uncompressed for debugging)

PouchDB can be installed through npm:

npm install --save pouchdb

After installing, call require() to use it:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
var db = new PouchDB('my_database');

PouchDB can be used either in Node or in the browser. A bundler such as Browserify, Webpack, or Rollup is needed for browser usage.

Browser only

If you're only using PouchDB in the browser, you can use pouchdb-browser for faster install times:

npm install --save pouchdb-browser

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb-browser');
var db = new PouchDB('my_database');
