# Installing AGL SDKs

To build your AGL services or AGL applications using XDS you must install a SDK
matching the target/board you want to use.

A SDK is a package that includes all tools you need to cross-build and cross-debug your service/application.

You can generate AGL SDK for the board you want to use or you can download
a pre-packaged AGL SDK.

## Install a new SDK from command line

Used `sdks` command of `xds-cli` tool to managed SDKs.

```bash
# List all available SDKs
xds-cli sdks ls -a

List of available SDKs:
