# Using ProudNet

In order to use ProudNet, you need to link the Lib files in the <mark style="color:orange;">ProudNet installation location</mark> -> <mark style="color:orange;">Lib</mark> folder to your project. Please link the version that matches your version of Visual Studio and the compilation version (debug, release, etc.).&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Link with caution, as it will not work if the versions do not match.
{% endhint %}

The ProudNet module is available by including <mark style="color:orange;">ProudNet.h</mark> in the <mark style="color:orange;">./include</mark> folder.\
All sources are bundled with <mark style="color:orange;">namespace Proud</mark>, which makes it more convenient to use namespace Proud.
