I just tried downloading the zip file and unzipping it. I see a few issues. Here are my steps :
1. from < https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/start/getting-the-code.html#using-zip> click 'GET POLYMER' dialogue appears with 'DOWNLOAD ZIP' and example import : '<link rel="import" href="components/polymer/polymer.html">' 2. click 'DOWNLOAD ZIP' 3. cd ~/Downloads/; mkdir tmp; cd tmp; unzip ../archive.zip the structure of the download doesn't correspond fo the import link in the dialogue above : [tmp]$ find . -name polymer.html ./components/bower_components/polymer/polymer.html ./components/bower_components/polymer/dist/polymer.html It does seem to include polymer.html and webcomponents.js, and I presume all their dependencies. It doesn't include any core or paper elements, but I wouldn't expect that since they're not 'polymer' (just elements written using polymer). Still, it's clear the instructions aren't correct. Either the archiver should produce a zip file with bower_components renamed to components, or the import link in the dialogue should be changed to be '<link rel="import" href="components/bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">'. Personally, I think there's an unnecessary directory level there - and to make it consistent with using the command line (with default rc), the dialog should be changed to use 'bower_components/' *and* the top 'components/' directory level removed.
