=====================
Installation for .NET
=====================
The following guides explain how to install a version
of E2C that enables you to write applications in .NET.

Getting from source
===================
The project is hosted on `GitLab`_

.. _GitLab: https://gitlab.com/elastic-event-components/e2c


.. code-block:: bash

   $ git@gitlab.com:elastic-event-components/e2c.git


See `INSTALL`_ for instructions on how to install E2c.

.. _INSTALL: https://gitlab.com/elastic-event-components/e2c/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Run a short program
===================

.. code-block:: c#

    var config = new string[] {
        ".run -- action",
        "    action.out -- print",
    };

.. code-block:: c#

    using E2c;

.. code-block:: c#

    var graph = new Graph(config);

    graph.Actor("action",
        new Action<string, Output<string>>(
            (data, output) => output.Invoke(data)));

    graph.Actor("print",
        new Action<string>(
            Console.WriteLine));

.. code-block:: c#

    graph.Run<string, string>("Hello, E2C");

If the system outputs the following, then you are ready to start writing E2C programs:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ Hello, E2C
