# Installation

In this section, you will learn how to install the Swift SDK in your project.

Before you can use this SDK in your Swift applications, you need to add it as a dependency and import it into your project. The SDK is distributed via [Swift Package Manager](https://www.swift.org/package-manager/).

> [!NOTE]
> The package is not yet listed on [Swift Package Index](https://swiftpackageindex.com). Until it is, add it using the repository's git URL as shown below. Once published, you will also be able to find it by searching the index.

## Install the SDK

### Using `Package.swift`

Add the package to the `dependencies` array of your `Package.swift`, then add the `SurrealDB` product to the dependencies of your target:

```swift
// swift-tools-version:6.1
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "YourApp",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb.swift.git", from: "0.1.0"),
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "YourTarget",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "SurrealDB", package: "surrealdb.swift")
            ]
        )
    ]
)
```

### Using Xcode

1. Open your project and choose **File → Add Package Dependencies…**
2. Enter the repository URL `https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb.swift.git` in the search field.
3. Select a dependency rule (for example **Up to Next Major Version**) and click **Add Package**.
4. Choose the `SurrealDB` library product and add it to your application target.

## Import the SDK

Once the package is resolved, import it wherever you need it:

```swift
import SurrealDB
```
