### Import and Initialize Alpine.js Module

Source: https://alpinejs.dev/essentials/installation

Import Alpine.js into your JavaScript bundle and start it. Registering extensions should happen between import and start. Ensure Alpine.start() is called only once.

```javascript
import Alpine from 'alpinejs'

window.Alpine = Alpine

Alpine.start()
```

--------------------------------

### Install Alpine.js via NPM

Source: https://alpinejs.dev/essentials/installation

Install Alpine.js as a project dependency using npm. This is the recommended approach for more complex projects or when using a build process.

```bash
npm install alpinejs
```

--------------------------------

### Include Alpine.js via CDN

Source: https://alpinejs.dev/essentials/installation

Add this script tag to the head of your HTML to include Alpine.js from a CDN. Ensure the 'defer' attribute is present. For production, hardcode the specific version.

```html
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
```

--------------------------------

### Specify Alpine.js Version via CDN

Source: https://alpinejs.dev/essentials/installation

For production stability, use a specific version number in the CDN URL instead of a general version range.

```html
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@3.15.11/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
```
