Installing Kendo
This section describes the process of "installing on the computer" as defined here
Until KendoUI Bridge version 1.6.5, we supported several different methods for installing KendoUI library, in order to match Telerek's distribution methods (KendoUI Core, KendoUI PRO, fetched via Bower, Github or downloaded from Telerik using their proprietary tool.
As Telerik recently added NPM Packages based installation of the Kendo UI library we deprecated most of the previously supported variants (shown as crossed-out on the image below)

Consequently, Aurelia UI Toolkits team recommendends to use the NPM Packages based distribution of the Kendo UI library because it fits well in all different variants of building your Aurelia application and removes the need to differentiate between Kendo UI PRO and Kendo UI Core library in the installation process itself.
To install KendoUI library, run the following command
Our new installation process uses Telerik's NPM based installation only, with added simplification: in all tutorial samples we always use Kendo UI Professional library, regardless of the fact that we actually just add the Autocomplete component, which is a part of the KendoUI Core package. It is left to the user to respect the compliance with the Telerik's license, making use of only KendoUI Core components it they did not purchase the PRO license.
All subsequent sections of this installation as well as all tutorials are rewritten to accomodate the above described changes. As a consequence, each of our subseqently described "installation cases" (where crossed-out entries indicate just deprecated pages) became a lot simpler, as explained on subsequent pages in this section.
