JointJS+ is now distributed via NPM, aligning with how modern engineering teams build and ship software.

Install via npm and start building immediately — no more manual ZIP workflows (though they’re still available if you prefer them).

Why this matters:

Predictable upgrades through your package manager
Proper dependency management
CI/CD-friendly setup
Faster onboarding for new developers
Cleaner integration with modern frameworks
