# NuGet Installation

To make a clean project with Bridge NuGet packages, start by creating a new C# Class Library project. This article will describe the steps necessary to get your project compiling with Bridge.

Create a new C# Class Library Project such as shown below:

To turn the newly created project into a Bridge.NET project, open either the NuGet Package Manager Console or Package Manager Dialog.

Open NuGet's console via Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console.

Once the console is open, install Bridge by running the following command:

Install-Package Bridge

At this point, the project's references will be replaced with Bridge and Bridge.Html5. This is the expected behaviour of a successfull Bridge.NET installation. Additionally, Bridge.jQuery2 and Bridge.Bootstrap3 would be in place if the respective packages were installed as well.

You can also install additional JavaScript framework support using the same technique. For example, Bridge.Bootstrap will install the Twitter Bootstrap C# bindings, as well as Bridge.jQuery since jQuery is a dependency of Bootstrap.

You now have a Class Library project that is configured to use Bridge and can compile your C# into JavaScript. You will find the following files in the Bridge\output folder as soon as you Build the project (F6):

• bridge.js
• bridge.min.js
• ClassLibrary1.js
• ClassLibrary1.min.js

The two latter files are assuming the project name is ClassLibrary1. By default, these two files will be created with your projects Namespace name.
