Download the Package

GPL version

Download the package of dhtmlxGantt GPL version.

PRO version

If you have the PRO version of the component, you need to go to the Client Area and download the PRO package from there.

Independent of the version, unpack the downloaded package into a folder of your project. Then include dhtmlxgantt.js and dhtmlxgantt.css files into a page. Make sure that you set correct relative paths to these files:

<script type="text/javascript" src="codebase/dhtmlxgantt.js"></script>  
<link rel="stylesheet" href="codebase/dhtmlxgantt.css">

Adding PRO Edition into Project

Install Pro version

All public sources (CDN, NuGet, Bower, and npm) contain a Standard edition of the component, which is distributed under the GPL license.

We also provide our private npm registry from where the Professional and Evaluation versions of the component can be installed.

If for some reason the methods described above are not available to you, there are two possible ways out:

• you can add the Pro version to your project by hand
• you can install the Pro version to your project via npm from a local directory

Installing the package from a local folder

If case of npm, you can install the Pro package from a local folder using npm install ./local_path or npm link. There are step-by-step instructions for both variants:

npm install

1. Copy the Gantt package into some local directory.
2. Go to your project directory.
3. Call npm install ../gantt-local-package-path.

npm link

1. Copy the Gantt package into some local directory.
2. Call npm link in the package folder.
3. Go to your project directory.
4. Call npm link dhtmlx-gantt.

To see the difference between the Standard and PRO versions of the dhtmlxGantt library, check the related article Standard vs PRO Library Versions.

Uninstall trial version

The correct way to install the Pro version would be to remove the trial version package:

npm uninstall dhtmlx-gantt

Then you need to thoroughly check that your applications don't have the dhtmlxgantt.js file anywhere.

For Linux and MacOS, you can use the following commands in the terminal:

grep -rin "dhtmlxGantt v"
grep -rin evaluation

For Windows, you can use the following commands in the command line:

findstr /mis "dhtmlxGantt v" path_to_your_app\*
findstr /mis "evaluation" path_to_your_app\*

After that you can install the Pro version of the Gantt chart as described above.
