# 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.
