# Installation

Install the Go SDK:

```bash
go get github.com/babelqueue/babelqueue-go
```

## Requirements

- **Go** `>=1.21`

The core is **broker-agnostic with zero dependencies** (standard library only).
You bring your own Redis or RabbitMQ client to move the encoded bytes — there is
no separate BabelQueue runtime to install.
