# Installation

## NPM

```bash
npm install @bsv/simple @bsv/sdk
```

`@bsv/sdk` is a peer dependency — it must be installed alongside `@bsv/simple`.

## Entry Points

The library provides three entry points:

| Import Path           | Environment | Use Case                                                   |
| --------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@bsv/simple/browser` | Browser     | Connect to user's wallet extension                         |
| `@bsv/simple/server`  | Node.js     | Server wallet with private key (includes server-only deps) |

### Browser

```typescript
import { createWallet, Certifier, DID, Overlay } from '@bsv/simple/browser'
import { CredentialSchema, CredentialIssuer, MemoryRevocationStore } from '@bsv/simple/browser'
```

### Server (Node.js)

```typescript
import { ServerWallet, FileRevocationStore } from '@bsv/simple/server'
```

Or with dynamic import (recommended in frameworks like Next.js):

```typescript
const { ServerWallet } = await import('@bsv/simple/server')
```

## TypeScript

The library ships with full TypeScript declarations. No additional `@types/` packages are needed.

```typescript
import type { BrowserWallet } from '@bsv/simple/browser'
import type { PaymentOptions, TokenOptions, SendOptions } from '@bsv/simple'
```

## Framework-Specific Setup

### Next.js

Next.js with Turbopack requires additional configuration to prevent server-only packages from being bundled for the browser. See the [Next.js Integration Guide](/bsv-code-academy/bsv-simple/simple-sdk/browser-wallet/nextjs-integration.md) for the required `next.config.ts` setup.

### React / Vite

No special configuration needed. Import from `@bsv/simple/browser` in your components.

### Vanilla TypeScript / Node.js

No special configuration needed. Use `@bsv/simple/browser` for browser apps or `@bsv/simple/server` for Node.js scripts.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/bsv-code-academy/bsv-simple/simple-sdk/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
