To get started with jQuery, you can either download the jQuery library and host it on your server or use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to include it in your project. Here are the steps to download the jquery.min.js file and include it in your HTML file:

Step 1 : Visit the jQuery Official Website:

Go to the official jQuery website at https://jquery.com/.

Step 2 : Download jQuery:

On the jQuery website, click on the "Download" tab.

Choose the version you want to download. You can select the latest version or a specific version if needed.

You can download either the compressed (minified) version or the uncompressed version. For most production use, it's recommended to use the minified version (jquery.min.js) as it is smaller in size.

Click on the "Download" button to download the selected version. save the js file in your working path.

Include jQuery in Your Project:

Once you have downloaded the jquery.min.js file, include it in your HTML file using the <script> tag. You can either host it on your server or use a CDN.

Place the downloaded jquery.min.js file in your project directory and reference it in your HTML file like this:

<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>

        alert("Success : Welcome to Learn jQuery...");
