Installation¶

Download and install the AVBlocks .NET demo version on your platform. Builds are available for both x64 and ARM64. Choose the section that matches your machine.

The package must match the architecture of the .NET you run, not just the machine. Run dotnet --info and check the Architecture line. For example, an x64 .NET running under Rosetta on Apple Silicon needs the x64 package.

The commands below extract the SDK into sdk/<arch>/net10.0, where <arch> is x64 or arm64. For the available versions check the AVBlocks .NET Core releases.
