Installation

Install Kit

Install Kit using the main @solana/kit library. It includes many smaller packages — such as @solana/rpc or @solana/transactions — that can also be used individually for more granular imports.

npm install @solana/kit

Install program clients

Install Kit compatible clients for any program you want to interact with. For example, to interact with the System program, install the @solana-program/system package. You can find a list of available program clients here.

npm install @solana-program/system \
  @solana-program/memo \
  @solana-program/token \
  @solana-program/compute-budget

Set up your project

Use primitives provided by Kit to set up your project and start interacting with Solana!

For example, if you are planning on sending transactions, you will likely need an RPC API, an RPC Subscriptions API and a "send and confirm" strategy.

import { createSolanaRpc, createSolanaRpcSubscriptions, sendAndConfirmTransactionFactory } from "@solana/kit";
 
const rpc = createSolanaRpc("https://api.devnet.solana.com");
const rpcSubscriptions = createSolanaRpcSubscriptions("wss://api.devnet.solana.com");
const sendAndConfirmTransaction = sendAndConfirmTransactionFactory({ rpc, rpcSubscriptions });
