# Download the C producer library code
<a name="producersdk-c-download"></a>

In this section, you download the low-level libraries. For prerequisites and other details about this example, see [Use the C\$1\$1 producer library](producer-sdk-cpp.md).





1. Create a directory, and then clone the example source code from the GitHub repository. 

   ```
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-c.git
   ```
**Note**  
If you miss running git clone with `--recursive`, run `git submodule update --init` in the `amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-c/open-source` directory. You must also install pkg-config, CMake, and a build environment.  
For more information, see the `README.md` in [https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-c.git](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-c.git).

1. Open the code in the integrated development environment (IDE) of your choice (for example, [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/)).
