How do you get p5.js into a website?

Follow these instructions: http://p5js.org/get-started/

Or these instructions: https://github.com/processing/p5.js/wiki/Embedding-p5.js

In other words, you need to create an html file that uses p5.js, which you should already have.

Then you need to upload that html file, along with any resources you're using, to some kind of web host.

You might also want to check out Processing.js, which comes with the standard Processing editor.


creat html file and a sketch.js file

in your html file you can put in a starter template and then add p5js in the sketch.js

check the docs here
