You'll need to add the appropriate script to your webpage "head."
In many cases this can be accomplished by adding
<!-- Locally hosted USU copy of FontAwesome -->
<script src="https://fontawesome.usu.edu/v6/js/all.js"></script>
Example: basic icon fa-camera-retro
You can place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere using the CSS Prefix fa and the icon's
name. Font Awesome is designed to be used with inline elements (we like the <i> tag for
brevity, but using a <span> is more semantically correct).
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro"></i> fa-camera-retro
fa-lg
fa-2x
fa-3x
fa-4x
fa-5x
To increase icon sizes relative to their container, use the fa-lg (33% increase),
fa-2x,
fa-3x, fa-4x, or fa-5x classes.
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-lg"></i> fa-lg
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i> fa-2x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"></i> fa-3x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-4x"></i> fa-4x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-5x"></i> fa-5x
Use fa-fw to set icons at a fixed width. Great to use when different icon widths throw off
alignment.
Especially useful in things like nav lists & list groups.
<div class="list-group">
<a class="list-group-item" href="#"><i class="fa fa-home fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> Home</a>
<a class="list-group-item" href="#"><i class="fa fa-book fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> Library</a>
<a class="list-group-item" href="#"><i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> Applications</a>
<a class="list-group-item" href="#"><i class="fa fa-cog fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> Settings</a>
</div>
Use fa-ul and fa-li to easily replace default bullets in unordered lists.
<ul class="fa-ul">
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-check-square"></i>List icons</li>
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-check-square"></i>can be used</li>
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i>as bullets</li>
<li><i class="fa-li fa fa-square"></i>in lists</li>
</ul>
�tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther� And then one fine morning� So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Use fa-border and fa-pull-right or fa-pull-left for easy pull quotes
or
article icons.
<i class="fa fa-quote-left fa-3x fa-pull-left fa-border" aria-hidden="true"></i>
...tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...
And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the
current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Use the fa-spin class to get any icon to rotate, and use fa-pulse to have it
rotate
with 8 steps. Works well with fa-spinner, fa-refresh, and fa-cog.
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin fa-3x fa-fw"></i>
<span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
<br>
<i class="fa fa-circle-notch fa-spin fa-3x fa-fw"></i>
<span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
<br>
<i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin fa-3x fa-fw"></i>
<span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
<br>
<i class="fa fa-cog fa-spin fa-3x fa-fw"></i>
<span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
<br>
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-pulse fa-3x fa-fw"></i>
<span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
Note: CSS3 animations aren't supported in IE8 - IE9.

fa-rotate-90
fa-rotate-180
fa-rotate-270
fa-flip-horizontal
fa-flip-vertical
To arbitrarily rotate and flip icons, use the fa-rotate-* and fa-flip-* classes.
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved"></i> normal<br>
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved fa-rotate-90"></i> fa-rotate-90<br>
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved fa-rotate-180"></i> fa-rotate-180<br>
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved fa-rotate-270"></i> fa-rotate-270<br>
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved fa-flip-horizontal"></i> fa-flip-horizontal<br>
<i class="fa fa-shield-halved fa-flip-vertical"></i> fa-flip-vertical
To stack multiple icons, use the fa-stack class on the parent, the fa-stack-1x
for the regularly sized icon, and fa-stack-2x for the larger icon. fa-inverse
can be used as an alternative icon color. You can even throw larger icon classes on
the parent
to get further control of sizing.
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
<i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-flag fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
</span>fa-flag on fa-circle<br>
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
<i class="fa fa-square fa-stack-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-terminal fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
</span>fa-terminal on fa-square<br>
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
<i class="fa fa-camera fa-stack-1x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-ban fa-stack-2x text-danger"></i>
</span>fa-ban on fa-camera
