# Using WebAssembly from .NET
The [Wasmtime](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Wasmtime) NuGet package can be used to
programmatically interact with WebAssembly modules.
This guide will go over adding Wasmtime to your project and demonstrate a simple
example of using a WebAssembly module from C#.
Make sure you have a [.NET Core SDK 3.0 SDK or later](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
installed before we get started!
## Getting started and simple example
Start by creating a new .NET Core console project:
```text
$ mkdir gcd
$ cd gcd
$ dotnet new console
```
Next, add a reference to the Wasmtime NuGet package to your project:
```text
$ dotnet add package --version 0.19.0-preview1 wasmtime
```
Copy this example WebAssembly text module into your project directory as `gcd.wat`.
```wat
{{#include ../examples/gcd.wat}}
```
This module exports a function for calculating the greatest common denominator of two numbers.
Replace the code in `Program.cs` with the following:
```c#
using System;
using Wasmtime;
namespace Tutorial
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using var engine = new Engine();
using var module = Module.FromTextFile(engine, "gcd.wat");
using var host = new Host(engine);
using dynamic instance = host.Instantiate(module);
Console.WriteLine($"gcd(27, 6) = {instance.gcd(27, 6)}");
}
}
}
```
Run the .NET core program:
```text
$ dotnet run
```
The program should output:
```text
gcd(27, 6) = 3
```
If this is the output you see, congrats! You've successfully ran your first
WebAssembly code in .NET!
