gpgme-sharp is a C# wrapper around GPGME, the recommended way to use GnuPG within an application. It supports .NET Framework 4.0 and higher, and .NET Core 3.1 and higher.
- On Windows, you will need to install Gpg4Win. It is recommended to use Gpg4Win 4.2.0 (released 2023-07-14) or above, as this version added a 64-bit build of GPGME.
- On Debian and Ubuntu, install the libgpgme11 package.
- On other Linux distros or other operating systems, install libgpgme using your favourite package manager, or compile it from source.
On Windows, gpgme-sharp tries to find the GPGME DLL in your Gpg4Win installation directory, and falls back to the system32 directory. If your libgpgme-11.dll (32-bit) or libgpgme6-11.dll (64-bit) file is located in a different location, you can pass the path to the Context constructor.
The library can be installed using NuGet:
dotnet add package gpgme-sharp
