This has been replaced by the Home Office plugin for the GOV.UK prototype kit. Where you can adapt the GOV.UK prototype kit to look like internal Home Office systems.
The reason for this is the update to v13 of the GOV.UK prototype kit means it's much easier to use a plugin (and it's much easier to maintain!).
Go to the GOV.UK Prototype Kit site to get the latest version and read the documentation.
The only difference is instead of npx govuk-prototype-kit create run npx home-office-govuk-prototype-kit create
The Prototype Kit provides a simple way to make interactive prototypes that look like pages on GOV.UK. These prototypes can be used to show ideas to people you work with, and to do user research.
Read the project principles.
If you publish your prototypes online, they must be protected by a password. This is to prevent members of the public finding prototypes and thinking they are real services.
You must protect user privacy at all times, even when using prototypes. Prototypes made with the kit look like GOV.UK, but do not have the same security provisions. Always make sure you are handling user data appropriately.
To install this kit, follow the GOV.UK instructions, except instead of npx govuk-prototype-kit create, run npx home-office-govuk-prototype-kit create.
We always recommend you use the current long term support (LTS) version of Node.js.
The Prototype Kit always supports at least the current and previous LTS releases.
