• npm/Node.js client
• Browser client

Note: In version 2.2.x, there are two versions of the scripts a jquery plugin version jquery.atmosphere.js and a plain javascript version atmosphere.js. As keeping both versions requires overhead and also confuses the users which to choose, in 2.3.x, only the plain javascript version will be supported. If you are currently using the 2.2.x jquery version, please consider migrating to the plain javascript version.

Install

manually

You can get atmosphere.js in several ways. If you use a script tag whose src attribute is set to the below one, browser may not load it because the content type served by raw.github.com is text/plain.
