# Installation

Installing Kotlin into your FTC project is very easy and shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

# Project Gradle Script

The first step of adding Kotlin to your FTC project is by adding Kotlin to the build.gradle file that has Project: REPO-NAME next to it. Add the indicated lines of code to the aforementioned file:

buildscript {

ext.kotlin_version = '1.8.20' <----- ADD THIS LINE, UPDATE VERSION TO LATEST IF NEEDED

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    google()
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0'
    ==classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" <----- ADD THIS LINE==
}
}

# TeamCode Gradle Script

The only other thing you have to do is copy the indicated line of code into the build.gradle file that has Module: TeamCode next to it.

apply from: '../build.common.gradle'
apply from: '../build.dependencies.gradle'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' <----- ADD THIS LINE

If you are confused on where to copy the code, I have labeled the place to copy the first set of lines in blue, and the other line in yellow.

Please ignore everything else, as this is a preexisting project that has other libraries installed.

After doing this, you should be ready to start programming!
