Downloading and installing MooTools

The first thing we need to do is download a copy of MooTools from the official MooTools website (http://www.mootools.net).

What's great about MooTools is that it's extremely modular. You can—as I fondly refer to it—roll your own version of it by downloading only the components that you're going to use. This is important if you want to keep your web applications as light as possible.

For the purpose of this book, you should download the entire MooTools Core so that we can make sure we're all in the same page.
