# Installation

## Setup

Install the SDK from npm using your preferred package manager:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="npm" %}

```bash
npm install @tiun/sdk
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="pnpm" %}

```bash
pnpm add @tiun/sdk
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="yarn" %}

```bash
yarn add @tiun/sdk
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Configuration

After installing, import the SDK and call `init()` once at app startup:

```javascript
import { tiun } from '@tiun/sdk';

tiun.init({
  snippetId: 'YOUR_SNIPPET_ID',
  language: 'en', // 'en' | 'de' | 'fr'
});
```

You'll need your **Snippet ID** from the tiun dashboard. That's the only required option — see [Initialization](/sdk/getting-started/initialization.md) for the full list of configuration options.

## Use without a bundler

If you don't have a build step, load the SDK as an ES module from [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/@tiun/sdk/):

```html
<script type="module">
  import { tiun } from 'https://unpkg.com/@tiun/sdk/tiun.js';

  tiun.init({
    snippetId: 'YOUR_SNIPPET_ID',
    language: 'en', // 'en' | 'de' | 'fr'
  });
</script>
```

See the [Vanilla JS examples](/sdk/examples/vanilla-js.md) for the full set of patterns.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tiun.io/sdk/getting-started/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
