# swagger-java-client ## Requirements Building the API client library requires [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) to be installed. ## Installation & Usage To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute: ```shell mvn install ``` To deploy it to a remote Maven repository instead, configure the settings of the repository and execute: ```shell mvn deploy ``` Refer to the [official documentation](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/usage.html) for more information. After the client library is installed/deployed, you can use it in your Maven project by adding the following to your *pom.xml*: ```xml io.swagger swagger-java-client 1.0.0 compile ``` ## Recommendation It's recommended to create an instance of `ApiClient` per thread in a multithreaded environment to avoid any potential issue. ## Author apiteam@swagger.io
