# Installation

## Adding the MOVE SDK to your app

There are two possible ways to integrate the MOVE SDK:

1. Include from an Artifactory
2. Include binaries directly into your app 

### Include from Artifactory

Include the maven repository to your gradle build script where the MOVE SDK package is located.

```bash
maven { 
    url "https://dolphin.jfrog.io/artifactory/move-sdk-libs-release" 
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Add this to your project-level `build.gradle` inside `allprojects { repositories { } }`, or to `settings.gradle` inside `dependencyResolutionManagement { repositories { } }` if your project uses AGP 7+.
{% endhint %}

Add the dependency for the MOVE SDK Android library to your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can check for latest releases here:\
<https://dolphin.jfrog.io/ui/native/move-sdk-libs-release/io/dolphin/move/move-sdk>
{% endhint %}

```bash
// Include the latest version number of our artifactory e.g. 2...
// Latest releases: https://dolphin.jfrog.io/ui/native/move-sdk-libs-release/io/dolphin/move/move-sdk
implementation "io.dolphin.move:move-sdk:w.x.y.zzz"
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The snippets above use Groovy DSL syntax. If your project uses Kotlin DSL (`build.gradle.kts`), replace single quotes with double quotes and adjust the syntax accordingly.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** ProGuard/R8 consumer rules are bundled with the SDK. No additional configuration required.
{% endhint %}

### Include SDK binary directly

The SDK may be shipped as an AAR library directly. Place the library in a "libs" folder of your application module.  If there is no libs folder, you must create it first.

Once the library is placed in the correct folder, the app build file needs to be adapted as shown below. After a Gradle sync, the MOVE SDK should be ready to use.

{% code title="app build.gradle" %}

```bash
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar','*.aar'])
    ...
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You may also include the binaries directly into your own Artifactory. Then you are able to use the Artifactory solution from above.
{% endhint %}
