## Get started with Radzen Blazor Components
### 1. Install
Radzen Blazor Components are distributed as a [Radzen.Blazor NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Radzen.Blazor). You can add them to your project in one of the following ways
- Install the package from command line by running `dotnet add package Radzen.Blazor`
- Add the project from the Visual NuGet Package Manager
- Manually edit the .csproj file and add a project reference
### 2. Import the namespace
Open the `_Imports.razor` file of your Blazor application and add this line `@using Radzen.Blazor`.
### 3. Include a theme
Radzen Blazor components come with five free themes: Material, Standard, Default, Dark, Software and Humanistic.
To use a theme
1. Pick a theme. The [online demos](https://blazor.radzen.com/colors) allow you to preview the available options via the theme dropdown located in the header. The Material theme is currently selected by default.
1. Include the theme CSS file in your Blazor application. Open `Pages\_Layout.cshtml` (Blazor Server .NET 6), `Pages\_Host.cshtml` (Blazor Server .NET 7) or `wwwroot/index.html` (Blazor WebAssembly) and include a theme CSS file by adding this snippet
```html
```
To include a different theme (i.e. Standard) just change the name of the CSS file:
```
```
### 4. Include Radzen.Blazor.js
Open `Pages\_Layout.cshtml` (Blazor Server .NET 6), `Pages\_Host.cshtml` (Blazor Server .NET 7) or `wwwroot/index.html` (Blazor WebAssembly) and include this snippet:
```html
```
### 5. Use a component
Use any Radzen Blazor component by typing its tag name in a Blazor page e.g.
```html
```
#### Data-binding a property
```razor
@code {
string text = "Hi";
}
```
#### Handing events
```razor
@code {
void ButtonClicked()
{
}
}
```
## Run demos locally
Use Radzen.Server.sln to open and run demos as Blazor server application or Radzen.WebAssembly.sln to open and run demos as Blazor WebAssembly application. Radzen.sln has reference to all projects including tests.
