Manual Installation

Add these two files to your page: swipeslider.min.js swipeslider.css

You'll also need to add jQuery library if it's not already.

Within your HTML add markup for slides, something like that:

<figure id="sample_slider" class="swipeslider">
<ul class="sw-slides">
  <li class="sw-slide">
    <img src="img/lang_yie_ar_kung_fu.jpg" alt="Lang from Yie Ar Kung Fu">
  </li>
  <li class="sw-slide">
    <img src="img/summer_beach.jpg" alt="Summer beach concept">
  </li>
  <li class="sw-slide">
    <img src="img/borderlands_tiny_tina.jpg" alt="Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2">
  </li>
  <li class="sw-slide">
    <img src="img/redhead.jpg" alt="Redhead girl">
  </li>
</ul>
</figure>

Add following script to make things going:

<script>
$(window).load(function() {
  $('#sample_slider').swipeslider();
});
</script>

Do not forget to add at least height to your slider via css.
