# Install an SDK

Choose a language, install from source or a local artifact, and keep provider execution on your server.

## Choose a package

All twelve SDKs are alpha source packages. Install from a reviewed checkout or its locally built artifacts. Package names and versions describe those artifacts; they do not establish availability in npm, PyPI, Maven Central, crates.io, NuGet or a release tag. Alpha APIs may change. Record the source revision and retain your application's dependency lock.

## Use the matching toolchain

Start with the language guide's minimum runtime and dependency requirements. The TypeScript SDK is ESM and dependency-free at runtime. Other packages have their own dependency contracts: for example, Rust uses Tokio/Reqwest/Serde and Android uses coroutines/OkHttp. A zero-dependency claim for one SDK does not apply to all of them.

## Configure credentials at the right boundary

Direct provider credentials belong in server secret configuration. Mobile and browser applications use your own authenticated gateway with application tokens. Never put a provider key in a client bundle, device storage, chat or logs.

## Build from a reviewed checkout

**Source checkout**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Belweave/searchSDK.git
cd searchSDK
# Record this revision with your application's dependency lock.
git rev-parse HEAD
```

Use the selected language's packaging command. Building an archive, installing it locally, pushing a Git commit, deploying the website and publishing a registry package are separate operations.
