# Installation

To use the SDK in your project, install it using your preferred package manager:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="npm">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    npm install @meteora-ag/zap-sdk @solana/web3.js
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="pnpm">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pnpm install @meteora-ag/zap-sdk @solana/web3.js
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="yarn">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    yarn add @meteora-ag/zap-sdk @solana/web3.js
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

# Initialization

Once installed, you can initialize the SDK in your TypeScript/JavaScript project like this:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { Zap } from "@meteora-ag/zap-sdk";

// Initialize a connection to the Solana network (e.g., Mainnet)
const connection = new Connection("https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com");

// Create a new instance of the Zap SDK
const zap = new Zap(connection);
```
