# Geist Icons lack clear installation, import, and usage documentation

On the Geist Icons page ([https://vercel.com/geist/icons](https://vercel.com/geist/icons)), the available actions are limited to **Copy Import**, **Copy Name**, **Copy JSX**, and **Copy SVG**. However, there is no documentation explaining how to actually install Geist Icons in a project.

There is no mention of:

*   an official `npm` package
    
*   an install command
    
*   supported frameworks
    
*   where the “Copy Import” path is expected to come from
    

Without a clear installation step, the import snippets are effectively unusable unless the developer already knows the internal setup. This makes first-time adoption confusing and error-prone.

At minimum, the Icons page should clearly document:

*   how to install Geist Icons
    
*   which package or asset source the imports reference
    

Right now, the page assumes prior knowledge and skips the most fundamental step: installation.

There are no installation instructions because the icons are only for use in Vercel-owned UIs. Geist icons and components are not open sourced packages, just publicly visible as part of our design system reference.

If you're looking for an alternative, I recommend trying one of the icon libraries listed in https://www.shadcn.io/icons
