Installing and importing truffle-contract

At the time of writing this, the latest version of the truffle-contract API is 1.1.10. Before importing truffle-contract, you need to first import web3.js as you will need to create a provider to work with the truffle-contract APIs so that truffle-contract will internally use the provider to make JSON-RPC calls.

To install truffle-contract in the Node.js app, you need to simply run this in your app directory:

npm install truffle-contract

And then use this code to import it:

var TruffleContract = require("truffle-contract");

To use truffle-contract in a browser, you can find the browser distribution inside the dist directory in the https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-contract repository.
