Downloads available 📦

Beginners

⬇️ polymer-starter-kit-light-1.1.1 - a simpler start with just Polymer, some elements and layout.

This requires no additional tools from us and already has dependencies checked in. You can download this version, cd app into it and just run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 (or for Windows python -m http.server 8080, WAMP or another local server setup) to get it running.

Intermediate - Advanced users

⬇️ polymer-starter-kit-1.1.1.zip - the kit with all of our build process & developer tooling and (optional) offline support. Use this version if building something you're targeting for production.

You will need to run a one-liner to install the Node and Bower dependencies needed once downloaded. We walk you through this in our README.
