# Installation

import { Callout } from 'nextra/components';
import { CratesPaused } from '../../../components/crates-paused'

<CratesPaused />

```toml
[dependencies]
nym-sdk = "X.Y.Z"
blake3 = "=1.7.0"  # pin to avoid a transitive dependency conflict — see note below
```

<Callout type="warning">
**Temporary pin required.** You must pin `blake3 = "=1.7.0"` in your `Cargo.toml` to avoid a build failure caused by a transitive `digest` version conflict. This will be resolved in a future SDK release.
</Callout>

**Minimum Rust version:** 1.70+

### Git (bleeding edge)

You can also import directly from Git if you want unreleased changes:

```toml
# development branch (latest changes, may be unstable)
nym-sdk = { git = "https://github.com/nymtech/nym", branch = "develop" }

# latest stable release
nym-sdk = { git = "https://github.com/nymtech/nym", branch = "master" }
```

<Callout type="warning">
**No feature gates yet.** Importing `nym-sdk` pulls in everything (mixnet, tcp_proxy, client_pool, etc.) and their full dependency trees. Cargo feature flags are planned.
</Callout>
