Install GroupDocs.Markdown for .NET

This topic describes how to add the GroupDocs.Markdown library to your .NET project.

Install from NuGet

GroupDocs.Markdown is available on NuGet. The main package is a meta-package that automatically pulls in the correct runtime package for your project’s target framework.

Using .NET CLI

Open a terminal in your project folder and run:

dotnet add package GroupDocs.Markdown

Using Package Manager Console

In Visual Studio, open Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and run:

Install-Package GroupDocs.Markdown

Using PackageReference

Add directly to your .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="GroupDocs.Markdown" Version="26.3" />

Runtime Packages

The NuGet package includes assemblies for four target frameworks:

Target FrameworkRuntime Package
.NET Framework 4.6.2GroupDocs.Markdown.Net462
.NET 6.0GroupDocs.Markdown.Net60
.NET 8.0GroupDocs.Markdown.Net80
.NET 10.0GroupDocs.Markdown.Net100

In most cases, install only the main GroupDocs.Markdown package. NuGet will resolve the correct runtime package automatically. You can also install a specific runtime package directly if needed:

dotnet add package GroupDocs.Markdown.Net80

Download from the Official Website

You can also download the assemblies as a ZIP archive or MSI installer from the GroupDocs Releases website.

  1. Download the ZIP or MSI for the desired version.
  2. Extract files (ZIP) or run the installer (MSI).
  3. In your project, add a reference to the GroupDocs.Markdown.dll file for the target framework you need (e.g., bin/net8.0/GroupDocs.Markdown.dll).

Verify Installation

After installing, verify that the package is accessible:

using GroupDocs.Markdown;

// List all supported formats
foreach (FileFormat format in MarkdownConverter.GetSupportedFormats())
    Console.WriteLine(format);
