Include the CSS in your base template

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'wagtailnhsukfrontend/css/nhsuk-frontend-10.4.2.min.css' %}">

Upgrading

If you are upgrading from v0 to v1, see the changelog.

This CSS and JS is taken directly from the nhsuk-frontend library and provided in this package for convenience.

If you have a more complicated frontend build such as compiling your own custom styles, you might want to install from npm instead.
