To create a carousel slider with the Owl Carousel 2 plugin, along with touch and drag support, responsive design, over 60 options, and integration with Webflow CMS, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. First, you need to include the Owl Carousel 2 plugin files in your Webflow project. You can download the plugin from the Owl Carousel 2 website (https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/). Extract the downloaded file and locate the necessary CSS and JS files.
