Installation

First download the package from the GitHub. THen include two css files in the <head> tag. 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="owlcarousel/owl.carousel.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="owlcarousel/owl.theme.default.min.css">

owl.carousel.min.css is the main file and it is required to include before any javascript files. owl.theme.default.min.css file is theme file for navigation controls like arrow, dot etc.

And then include bellow javascript file before closing </body> tag.

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="owlcarousel/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>

Note: If you don't want to manually download the package, then you can directly load Owl Carousel CDN files. Put the bellow lines instead of CSS and Javascript tags.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.0.0-beta.3/assets/owl.carousel.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.0.0-beta.3/assets/owl.theme.default.min.css">

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.0.0-beta.3/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>

Now wrap all slider <div> or <img> in one container <div class="owl-carousel">. class owl-carousel is required to apply proper css styles. Also if you want to use default navigation controls, you must also include the owl-theme class in the same <div> tag.

<div class="owl-carousel owl-theme">
    <div>First lider</div>
    <div>Second lider</div>
    <div>Third lider</div>
    <div>Forth lider</div>

</div>
