## Third party web dependencies
Owncast's web frontend utilizes a few third party Javascript and CSS dependencies that we ship with the application.
To add, remove, or update one of these components:
1. Perform your `npm install/uninstall/etc`, or edit the `package.json` file to reflect the change you want to make.
2. Edit the `snowpack` `install` block of `package.json` to specify what files you want to add to the Owncast project. This can be an entire library (such as `preact`) or a single file (such as `video.js/dist/video.min.js`). These paths point to files that live in `node_modules`.
3. Run `npm run build`. This will download the requested module from NPM, package up the assets you specified, and then copy them to the Owncast web app in the `webroot/js/web_modules` directory.
4. Your new web dependency is now available for use in your web code.
