EDI Tools for .NET is a single NuGet package. There is a paid version, "EdiFabric", and a trial version, "EdiFabric.Trial".
Installing the C# EDI library takes less than 5 minutes. The free trial is available via NuGet and direct download, and with this tutorial, we'll get you up and running in Visual Studio.
Install the Trial version
There are two ways to install the trial - either by downloading the prebuilt collection of C# examples, which automatically pulls all trial NuGet packages from nuget.org, or by manually installing the trial packages also from nuget.org.
To install EDI Tools for .NET Trial as part of the C# Examples head on to Download and install using the C# Examples article
Install EDI Tools for .NET via NuGet

- Select Browse and search "EdiFabric"
-
Select the trial package and install it

It is possible to manually reference the DLLs instead of the NuGet package. Instead of installing EdiFabric.Trial from NuGet, add a project reference to the EdiFabric.Trial DLL in the "DLLs" folder (see Download and install using the C# Examples article).
