## Installation

To initialize the DataTools, either:

* [Use the CDN service](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/datatools#using-cdn), or
* [Use Webpack](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/datatools#initializing-with-webpack).

### Using CDN

To use the Kendo UI for Vue DataTools with CDN, follow the below steps:

1. Reference the `data-tools` and `intl` packages.

```sh
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-vue-intl@latest/dist/cdn/js/kendo-vue-intl.js"></script>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-vue-data-tools@latest/dist/cdn/js/kendo-vue-data-tools.js"></script>
```

2. Reference one of the Kendo UI themes to style your components.

```sh
    // Load the Kendo Meridian Theme
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-theme-meridian@latest/dist/all.css">

    // Load the Kendo Bootstrap Theme
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap@latest/dist/all.css">
    <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    // To load the Kendo Material Theme

   ```

   ```jsx
