# Install and set up the Smart Accounts Kit

This page provides instructions to install and set up the Smart Accounts Kit, enabling you to create and interact with [MetaMask Smart Accounts](/smart-accounts-kit/1.0.0/concepts/smart-accounts/) into your dapp.

## Prerequisites[​](#prerequisites "Direct link to Prerequisites")

- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.18.0) v18 or later.
- Install [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm), or another package manager.
- If you plan to use any smart contracts (for example, to [create a custom caveat enforcer](/tutorials/create-custom-caveat-enforcer/)), install [Foundry](https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation).

## Steps[​](#steps "Direct link to Steps")

### 1. Install the Smart Accounts Kit[​](#1-install-the-smart-accounts-kit "Direct link to 1. Install the Smart Accounts Kit")

Install the [Smart Accounts Kit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@metamask/smart-accounts-kit):

- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
- Bun

```
npm install @metamask/smart-accounts-kit

```

```
yarn add @metamask/smart-accounts-kit

### 2. (Optional) Install the contracts[​](#2-optional-install-the-contracts "Direct link to 2. (Optional) Install the contracts")

If you plan to extend the Delegation Framework smart contracts (for example, to [create a custom caveat enforcer](/tutorials/create-custom-caveat-enforcer/)), install the contract package using Foundry's command-line tool, Forge:

```
forge install metamask/delegation-framework@v1.3.0

```

Add `@metamask/delegation-framework/=lib/metamask/delegation-framework/` in your `remappings.txt` file.
