# DBC TS SDK Getting Started

> Learn how to install @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk, initialize the DBC client, read standard and transfer-hook pool state, quote swaps, and test the SDK.

This guide shows how to install and initialize the official DBC TypeScript SDK, `@meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk`.

Before you begin, here are the main resources:

  <Card title="TypeScript SDK" icon="node-js" iconType="solid" href="https://github.com/MeteoraAg/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk/tree/main/packages/dynamic-bonding-curve">
    SDK source, tests, IDLs, services, math helpers, and package metadata.
  </Card>

    Published package for DBC TypeScript integrations.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Installation

Install the SDK and its Solana dependencies:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="npm">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    npm install @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token bn.js
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="pnpm">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pnpm install @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token bn.js
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="yarn">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    yarn add @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token bn.js
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="bun">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    bun add @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token bn.js
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Initialization

Create a client from a Solana connection and commitment:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { DynamicBondingCurveClient } from "@meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk";

const connection = new Connection(process.env.RPC_URL!, "confirmed");
const client = DynamicBondingCurveClient.create(connection, "confirmed");
```

The constructor is also public:

```typescript theme={"system"}
const client = new DynamicBondingCurveClient(connection, "confirmed");
```

## Program ID

The SDK defaults to the public DBC program ID on both mainnet and devnet:

```text theme={"system"}
dbcij3LWUppWqq96dh6gJWwBifmcGfLSB5D4DuSMaqN
```

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Testing The SDK

The local package scripts use `pnpm` in the repository root and package scripts in `packages/dynamic-bonding-curve`.

```bash theme={"system"}
cd packages/dynamic-bonding-curve
pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run check-types
pnpm test
```

Some tests depend on local validator fixtures and deployed program artifacts. For application integrations, simulate transactions and test on devnet before mainnet.
