# Include [Flex Layout](https://github.com/angular/flex-layout) in your CLI application
Include Angular Flex layout as detailed above.
Install the `@angular/flex-layout` library and add the dependency to package.json...
```bash
npm install --save @angular/flex-layout
```
Import the Angular Flex-Layout NgModule into your app module...
```javascript
//in src/app/app.module.ts
import { FlexLayoutModule } from '@angular/flex-layout';
// other imports
@NgModule({
imports: [
...
FlexLayoutModule.forRoot()
],
...
})
```
Run `ng serve` to run your application in develop mode, and navigate to `http://localhost:4200`
Add the following to `src/app/app.component.css`...
```css
.header {
background-color: lightyellow;
}
.left {
background-color: lightblue;
}
.right {
background-color: pink;
}
```
To verify flex-layout has been set up correctly, change `src/app/app.component.html` to the following...
```html
<div fxLayout="column">
<div class="header" fxLayout="row" fxLayoutAlign="space-between center">
<h1>
{{title}}
</h1>
</div>
<div fxLayout="row">
<div class="left" fxFlex="20">
LEFT: 20% wide
</div>
<div class="right" fxFlex>
RIGHT: 80% wide
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
After saving this file, return to the browser to see the very ugly but demonstrative flex-layout.
Among what you should see are - a light yellow header that is the entire width of the window, sitting directly atop 2 columns. Of those 2 columns, the left column should be light blue, and 20% wide, while the right column is pink, 80% to start, and will flex with window (re)size.
