# Installation

> Install BlindCast tools based on what you need: player for playback, CLI for encryption and upload, uploader for browser uploads, or the Docker key server for production.

Install only what you need. Each tool is independent.

## By use case

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Play encrypted video">
    ```bash theme={null}
    pnpm add @blindcast/player hls.js
    ```

    `hls.js` is a peer dependency. See [Player docs](/player/overview).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Encrypt & upload (CLI)">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g @blindcast/cli
    ```

    Or use without installing: `npx @blindcast/cli <command>`. See [CLI docs](/cli/overview).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Browser upload SDK">
    ```bash theme={null}
    pnpm add @blindcast/uploader
    ```

    See [Uploader docs](/uploader/overview).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Production key server">
    ```bash theme={null}
    docker pull blindcast/keyserver
    ```

    See [Key Server docs](/key-server/overview).

## TypeScript

All npm packages ship with TypeScript declarations. No `@types/*` packages needed. Set `"moduleResolution": "bundler"` or `"node16"` in `tsconfig.json`:

```json tsconfig.json theme={null}
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "target": "ES2020",
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM"]
  }
}
```
