# SkiaKit
> [Go to macOS / iOS / tvOS](#apple) | [Go to Linux](#linux)
SkiaKit is a 2D Graphics Library for use with Swift. It is powered by
Google's [Skia](https://skia.org) graphics library, the same library
that powers Google Chrome and Android graphics.
You can review the [API Documentation](https://migueldeicaza.github.io/SkiaKit/)
The Swift bindings are intended to be cross-platform, both to Apple
platforms, Linux, and new platforms where Skia and Swift run.
This work uses extensive code from Microsoft's SkiaSharp bindings
authored by Matthew Leibowitz and dozens of contributors. SkiaSharp
just happens to have a very advanced set of bridge APIs to the
underlying Skia engine that does not existing in the upstream Google
Skia project.
## Getting this to work
### Apple
Supports:
- `x86_64` Mac: anything from 2008 MacBook to M1 (using x86 emulation)
- `arm64` iPhone: anything past iPhone 5S
- `arm64` iPad: anything past iPad Air / iPad mini 2 (post-2013)
- iPhone Simulator
- iPad Simulator
- tvOS
Not currently supported:
- Mac Catalyst
#### Recommended usage
You can add SkiaKit to your project by putting this dependency in your `Package.swift`:
```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git", from: "1.0.0")
```
#### Using manually
If using manually, you'll need to download and assemble the `SkiaSharp.xcframework` required.
This must be ran on macOS with the [Command Line Tools for XCode](https://developer.apple.com/downloads/) installed.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git
cd SkiaKit
make download-payload
```
### Linux
SkiaKit is platform agnostic and makes a best-effort support for
Linux. An `.so` for the SkiaSharp library is included and supports
[the following Linux distributions](https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/453).
The `libSkiaSharp.so` file will need to be distributed alongside your project.
#### Recommended usage
You can add SkiaKit to your project by putting this dependency in your `Package.swift`:
```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git", .branch("generated"))
```
#### Using manually
If using manually, you'll need to provide `libSkiaSharp.so` in the
root of the `SkiaKit` folder. For [certain Linux distros](https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/453),
a convenience script is provided.
This script requires `curl` and `unzip`.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git
cd SkiaKit
make download-payload-linux
```
