# Install the SDK

> Add the Encore KMP SDK to your Kotlin Multiplatform project.

## Overview

The Encore KMP SDK is a thin bridge to the native iOS and Android SDKs. Add one dependency in your shared module — the native SDKs are resolved automatically per platform.

***

## Step 1: Add the Gradle Dependency

In your shared module's `build.gradle.kts`:

```kotlin theme={null}
kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("com.encorekit:encore-kmp:0.+")
        }
    }
}
```

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

## Step 2: iOS — Install CocoaPods Dependencies

If your KMP project targets iOS, run:

```bash theme={null}
./gradlew :shared:podInstall
```

This resolves the native EncoreKit pod via the KMP CocoaPods plugin. No manual Podfile changes required.

## Step 3: Verify

Sync your project, then verify the SDK is available in shared code:

```kotlin theme={null}
import com.encorekit.kmp.Encore
```

## Requirements

| Platform | Minimum                  |
| -------- | ------------------------ |
| Android  | minSdk 26 (Android 8.0+) |
| iOS      | 15.0+                    |
| Kotlin   | 1.9+                     |
| JDK      | 17+                      |

## Next Steps

* **[Configure the SDK](./configure)** — Set up your API key and initialize Encore
* **[Identify Users](./user-management)** — Associate users for offer targeting
