# Knockout
**Knockout** is a JavaScript [MVVM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_View_ViewModel) (a modern variant of MVC) library that makes it easier to create rich, desktop-like user interfaces with JavaScript and HTML. It uses *observers* to make your UI automatically stay in sync with an underlying data model, along with a powerful and extensible set of *declarative bindings* to enable productive development.
## Getting started
[](https://gitter.im/knockout/knockout?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
**Totally new to Knockout?** The most fun place to start is the [online interactive tutorials](http://learn.knockoutjs.com/).
For more details, see
* Documentation on [the project's website](http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/introduction.html)
* Online examples at [http://knockoutjs.com/examples/](http://knockoutjs.com/examples/)
## Downloading Knockout
You can [download released versions of Knockout](http://knockoutjs.com/downloads/) from the project's website.
For Node.js developers, Knockout is also available from [npm](https://npmjs.org/) - just run `npm install knockout`.
## Building Knockout from sources
If you prefer to build the library yourself:
1. **Clone the repo from GitHub**
```sh
git clone https://github.com/knockout/knockout.git
cd knockout
```
2. **Acquire build dependencies.**
Make sure you have [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [Java](https://www.java.com/en/) installed on your workstation. These are only needed to _build_ Knockout from sources. Knockout itself has no dependency on Node.js or Java once it is built (it works with any server technology or none). Now run:
```sh
npm install
```
3. **Run the build tool**
```sh
npm run grunt
```
Now you'll find the built files in `build/output/`.
To run a single task, use `--`
```sh
npm run grunt -- build:debug
```
## Running the tests
If you have [phantomjs](http://phantomjs.org/download.html) installed, then the `grunt` script will automatically run the specification suite and report its results.
Or, if you want to run the specs in a browser (e.g., for debugging), simply open `spec/runner.html` in your browser.
