## Overview

The Encore Android SDK is available on **Maven Central** — no additional repository configuration required.

## Install via Gradle

### Step 1: Add the Dependency

Add the SDK to your app-level `build.gradle.kts`:

```kotlin theme={null}
// app/build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("com.encorekit:encore:1.+")
}
```

<Note>
  `mavenCentral()` is included by default in Android projects. No additional repository setup is needed.

### Step 2: Sync and Verify

Sync your Gradle project, then verify the SDK is available:

```kotlin theme={null}

```

**Installation complete!**
