# Getting Started with the SDK in the Browser

## Loading the SDK

The quickest way to get started with the SDK is to load it using the hosted
package directly from Amazon Web Services. To do this, simply add the following
script tag to your HTML pages:

    <script src="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.0.0-rc8.min.js"></script>

You can also download this package by clicking the following link:
[aws-sdk-2.0.0-rc8.min.js](https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.0.0-rc8.min.js)

Once the SDK is loaded in your page, the module will be available from
the global variable `AWS` (or `window.AWS`).

## Browser Support

The SDK supports all modern web browsers:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Google Chrome</strong></td><td>28.0+</td>
    <td><strong>Microsoft Internet Explorer</strong></td><td>10.0+</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Mozilla Firefox</strong></td><td>23.0+</td>
    <td><strong>Apple Safari</strong></td><td>5.1+</td>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Opera</strong></td><td>17.0+</td>
    <td><strong>Android Browser</strong></td><td>4.3+</td>
  </tr>
</table>
