It is a static HTML file (email.html), not a library or framework — you copy it and adapt it, there's nothing to install or import.How do I actually use this to send an email?If you're sending via an API service like Mailgun, SendGrid or Postmark, copy email.html, paste it into a CSS inliner, then use the inlined output as your template. If you're using Mailchimp, just use email.html as is since the service inlines the CSS for you.
