Font Awesome 5 Lite
===================

[](#font-awesome-5-lite)

This PHP library generates Font Awesome 5 (Pro and Free) SVG JS files and stores them in a cache. It only generates the icons that you need! It's useful for those who don't want to use third party CDN's or WebPack.

Due to possible copyright infringements you need to download the latest Font Awesome yourself and add it to the files/fa\_source folder.

Quick start
-----------

Several quick start options are available:

- [Download the latest release.](https://github.com/innovato/font-awesome-5-lite/archive/master.zip)
- Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/innovato/font-awesome-5-lite.git`

### Get the Font Awesome 5 source files (required)

[](#get-the-font-awesome-5-source-files-required)

Get the Font Awesome 5 source files from their official website (). It's up to you to whether you want to use the Free or Pro version. They're both compatible with this library.

After the download you need to place the content of the Font Awesome svg-with-js/js folder in to the files/fa\_source directory (or use your own assets directory).

If you choose to use your own assets directory, then make sure there's a subfolder called "fa\_source" with the SVG JS files and also make sure the names are compatible.
