## Add Maven Central

We distribute Compose Unstyled via Maven Central. Maven Central is the most popular repository for Kotlin packages and it should be included in your list of repositories
out of the box.

To make sure you have it, check your `settings.gradle.kts`:

```kotlin
// settings.gradle.kts
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral() // <- Add this
    }
}

```

## Add the Gradle dependency

### Jetpack Compose

Add the dependency in your project, and set JVM version to 17:

```kotlin title="app/build.gradle.kts"
// app/build.gradle.kts
android {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "17" // <- Update this
    }
    compileOptions {
        // make sure these are set to VERSION_17
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    }
    // keep the rest the same
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.composables:core:{{compose_unstyled_version}}")
}
```

### Compose Multiplatform

For Compose Multiplatform apps:

```kotlin title="composeApp/build.gradle.kts"
// composeApp/build.gradle.kts
kotlin {
    androidTarget {
        compilerOptions {
            jvmTarget.set(JvmTarget.JVM_17) // <- Update this
        }
    }
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("com.composables:core:{{compose_unstyled_version}}")
        }
    }
}
```
