# How to use

## Installation

```sh
yarn add @xchainjs/xchain-solana
```

or&#x20;

```sh
npm install @xchainjs/xchain-solana

```

## Initialization

Using the Solana client you can initialize the main class of the module in consultation mode if you do not provide any parameters, this means you could retrieve information from the blockchain and prepare transactions to sign, but you will not be able to sign transactions, or generate addresses.

```typescript
import { Client } from '@xchainjs/xchain-solana'

const client = new Client()

// Make read operations with your client
```

Otherwise, if you want to sign transactions and get the addresses you own, you will need to initialize the main class of the protocol as follows

```typescript
import { Client, defaultSolanaParams } from '@xchainjs/xchain-solana'

const client = new Client({
  phrase: 'your secret phrase',
  ...defaultSolanaParams
})

// Make read or write operations with your client
```
