You can Click on View on Github button to go to GitHub and get all of the latest scripts Or click on Download button which will open the following popup.
Select the required version from the popup and click on download button in the popup. I will suggest to download Angular JS beta 2 version.This version is very fast, mobile supported and flexible compare to AngularJS 1
Include AngularJS library from CDN
Its better to include AngularJS library from CDN. There are so many CDN available which will provide you angularjs library. You can include AngularJS library from google CDN by adding url - https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.16/angular.min.js in your html document.
Adding library from CDN offers an advantage that if the visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of AngularJS from the same CDN, it won't have to be re-downloaded.
We are using the CDN versions of the library throughout all tutorial.
2 . Editor
AngularJS is plain HTML and javaScript code so you can install any good Editor or IDE based on your choice. I am using notepad++ for all my AngularJS work.
3 . Browser
You can install any browser of your choice as AngularJS supports all the browsers.
4 . Web server
You can Use any web server such as apache, tomcat etc. Even you can run your AngularJS application without any server in your local system.
Now, you are good to write AngularJS web application.
