# Getting started
|
|
|
|
To use AsyncMqttClient, you need:
|
|
|
|
* An ESP8266
|
|
* The Arduino IDE for ESP8266 (version 2.2.0 minimum)
|
|
* Basic knowledge of the Arduino environment (upload a sketch, import libraries, ...)
|
|
|
|
## Installing AsyncMqttClient
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to install AsyncMqttClient.
|
|
|
|
### 1a. For the Arduino IDE
|
|
|
|
1. Download the [corresponding release](https://github.com/marvinroger/async-mqtt-client/releases/latest)
|
|
2. Load the `.zip` with **Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library**
|
|
|
|
AsyncMqttClient has 1 dependency: [ESPAsyncTCP](https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP). Download the [.zip](https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP/archive/master.zip) and install it with the same method as above.

|
## Fully-featured sketch
|
|
|
|
See [examples/FullyFeatured-ESP8266.ino](../examples/FullyFeatured-ESP8266/FullyFeatured-ESP8266.ino)
|
|
|
|
**<u>Very important:</u> As a rule of thumb, never use blocking functions in the callbacks (don't use `delay()` or `yield()`).** Otherwise, you may very probably experience unexpected behaviors.
|
|
|
|
You can go to the [API reference](2.-API-reference.md).
