# Creating a user consent application using the .NET SDK

## Set up your .NET application

1. Navigate to the directory in which you'd like to store your project.
2. Create a folder called `SinchUserConsent`. Then, open a terminal or command prompt to that location.
3. Create a new .NET MVC app with the following command:



```shell
dotnet new mvc
```

### Installing the SDK

The easiest way to install the SDK is using the [`dotnet` CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=net70):

1. Open a command prompt or terminal to the local repository folder.
2. Execute the following command:

```shell
dotnet add package Sinch
```


### Installing ngrok

If you successfully completed the *Receive an SMS Message* guide, you'll have used ngrok to set up a tunnel to your local server. Install ngrok with the command:


```shell
npm install ngrok -g
```

If you haven't already, set up a free account with ngrok. Now we've installed everything we need, we can start creating the application.

### Collecting information to initialize the client

On the next page, you'll need to intialize the SDK.

Before initializing a client using this SDK, you'll need three pieces of information:

- Your Project ID
- An access key ID
- An access key Secret


These values can be found on the [<b>Access Keys</b>](https://dashboard.sinch.com/settings/access-keys) page of the Sinch Build Dashboard. You can also [create new access key IDs and Secrets](https://community.sinch.com/t5/Conversation-API/How-to-get-your-access-key-for-Conversation-API/ta-p/8120), if required.
