# Installation
Wynd is a lightweight, async WebSocket server library built on Tokio + Tungstenite.
## Requirements
- Rust toolchain (stable) with edition 2024
- Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV): 1.78+ (compatible with Tokio 1.x)
## Add the dependency
Using Cargo:
```bash
cargo add wynd
```
Or manually in `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
wynd = "0.2"
```
## Feature flags
Wynd currently has no optional features to toggle. Tokio is used with multi-threaded runtime under the hood by your application. Ensure your binary uses `#[tokio::main]` or starts a runtime manually.
## Verify installation
Build your project to ensure the crate compiles:
```bash
cargo build
```
