# Installation

Add the NuGet package, see the supported target frameworks, and meet the namespaces.

```csharp
using NetCorePpt;                  // PptxGen, Slide
using NetCorePpt.CoreInterfaces;   // option objects: TextProps* / ShapeProps / ImageProps / TableProps / HAlign / VAlign ...
using NetCorePpt.CoreEnums;        // ShapeType, ChartType, MediaType, ShadowType, BulletType, DashType, SCHEME_COLORS ...
using TableRow = System.Collections.Generic.List<NetCorePpt.CoreInterfaces.TableCell>;
```

NetCorePpt ships as a single NuGet package. Install it with the .NET CLI or add a `PackageReference`, import the namespaces and start building.

## .NET CLI

**PptxGenJS · bash**

```bash
dotnet add package NetCorePpt
```

## PackageReference

**PptxGenJS · xml**

```xml
<!-- use the latest version shown on nuget.org -->
<PackageReference Include="NetCorePpt" Version="*" />
```

## Namespaces

**NetCorePpt · C#**

```csharp
using NetCorePpt;                 // PptxGen, Slide
using NetCorePpt.CoreInterfaces;  // option objects: TextPropsOptions, ShapeProps, ...
using NetCorePpt.CoreEnums;       // ShapeType, ChartType, HAlign, VAlign, ...
```

## Create your first presentation

**NetCorePpt · C#** `Program.cs`

```csharp
using NetCorePpt;
using NetCorePpt.CoreInterfaces;

// 1. Create a Presentation
var pptx = new PptxGen();

// 2. Add a Slide to the presentation
var slide = pptx.addSlide();

// 3. Add 1+ objects (text, shapes, tables, charts, ...)
slide.addText("Hello World from NetCorePpt!", new TextPropsOptions
{
    x = 1,
    y = 1,
    color = "363636",
});

// 4. Save the Presentation
await pptx.exportToFile("Hello-World.pptx");
```
