### Clone Sample
Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these [instructions](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm)
to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a [Google Maps API key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key.md.txt).
The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file.
```javascript
git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.git
cd js-api-samples
npm i
cp .env.template .env
```
Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the `.env` file and replace `` with your actual API key before starting the sample.
```javascript
cd samples/web-components-map
npm start
```
