# Install the Amazon Connect SDK for developing applications for Amazon Connect Agent Workspace
Install the Amazon Connect SDK

To develop applications for the Amazon Connect agent workspace you must first install the Amazon Connect SDK. 

The [https://github.com/amazon-connect/AmazonConnectSDK](https://github.com/amazon-connect/AmazonConnectSDK) can be installed from NPM. The Aamzon Connect SDK is made up of a set of modules that can be installed as separate packages, meaning that you should only pull in the packages that you need.

The *app* package provides core application features like logging, error handling, secure messaging, and lifecycle events, and must be installed by all applications at a minimum to integrate into the workspace.

 **Install from NPM** 

Install the app package from NPM by installing ** @amazon-connect/app**.

```
% npm install --save @amazon-connect/app
```

**Note**  
 If you do not use NPM, refer to [Using Amazon Connect SDK without pacakage manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agentworkspace/latest/devguide/sdk-without-package-manager.html)
