## Install

The SDK README documents consuming the generated source from the repository:

Terminal window

```
git clone git@github.com:railsinfra/rails-csharp.git
dotnet add reference rails-csharp/src/Rails
```

Adjust paths if you vendor the repo inside your monorepo layout.

## Requirements

**.NET Standard 2.0 or later** (per README).

## Client from the environment

`RailsClient` with no arguments is configured from **`RAILS_API_KEY`** and **`RAILS_BASE_URL`**, as described in the README’s configuration table.

See the **`examples`** directory in **`rails-sdks/rails-csharp/`** for runnable programs.

## API shapes and snippets

Use the **[API Reference](/api/index.md)** tab for HTTP details and examples that track the generated surface.

## Runnable sample

Follow **Path A** on the [Quick start overview](/guides/quick-start/index.md) and use [`rails-sdk-samples/csharp/`](https://github.com/railsinfra/rails-sdk-samples/tree/main/csharp) when you want a sample server with OpenAPI first.
