Build From Source

Optionally, you can build Pure from its source on Github. To do this, you'll need to have Node.js 26+ and npm 12+ installed (see .nvmrc).

git clone [email protected]:pure-css/pure.git
cd pure
npm install
npm run build

Build Files

Now, all Pure CSS files should be built into the pure/build/ directory. All files that are in this build directory are also available on the CDN. The naming conventions of the files in the build/ directory follow these rules:

[module]-core.css: The minimal set of styles, usually structural, that provide the base on which the rest of the module's styles build.
[module]-nr.css: Rollup of [module]-core.css + [module].css + [module]-[feature].css from the src/[module]/ dir. This is the non-responsive version of a module.
[module].css: Rollup of [module]-nr.css + [module]-r.css from the build/ dir. This is the responsive version of a module.
*-min.css: A minified file version of the files of the same name.
pure.css: A rollup of all [module].css files in the build/ dir. This is a responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified. Note: does not contain responsive grids with @media queries.
pure-min.css: Minified version of pure.css that should be used in production.
pure-nr.css: A Rollup of all modules without @media queries. This is a non-responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified.
pure-nr-min.css: Minified version of pure-nr.css that should be used in production.
grids-responsive.css: Unminified version of Pure's grid stylesheet which includes @media queries.
grids-responsive-min.css: Minified version of grids-responsive.css that should be used in production.
