Design guidelines #

Check out these practical guides to help you understand how to design for Nordhealth’s platforms using Nord Design System.

Development packages #

Each package can be installed using Node Package Manager. To do so, run the following command(s) in your terminal:

# (For usage with any framework)
npm install @nordhealth/tokens
npm install @nordhealth/css
npm install @nordhealth/themes
npm install @nordhealth/icons

Browser support #

Nord Design System is tested in the latest two versions of the following browsers. Our team addresses critical bug fixes in earlier versions based on their severity and impact. If you need to support IE11 or pre-Chromium Edge, this library isn’t for you.
