Installation

The recommended way to install the Guild Wars 2 SDK is to use the NuGet package. You can install the package from the command line using the .NET CLI.

dotnet add package GW2SDK

Development packages

You can install development packages from GitHub from here. These packages are updated on every commit to the main branch and versioned by number of git commits since the last release. (Format: 1.0.0-preview.0.123)

First create a personal access token here with the read:packages scope. Then run the following command.

dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.pkg.github.com/sliekens/index.json \
    --name sliekens \
    --username <USERNAME> --password <TOKEN>

Replace USERNAME with the name of your user account on GitHub. Replace TOKEN with your personal access token.

By default, your token is stored in encrypted format in your user directory.

  • Windows: %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.Config
  • Mac/Linux: ~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config or ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config (varies by OS distribution)

Encryption is not supported on every platform. If you get an error, try the command again with --store-password-in-clear-text.

Uninstalling development packages

To stop using development packages, you can remove the NuGet source from your machine. This will remove the source and your token.

dotnet nuget remove source sliekens
