## Quick install in ASP .NET Core with mix

The quickest way to install OrmLite in existing ASP .NET Core projects is to [mix in](/mix-tool) the desired RDBMS provider which both installs the required NuGet package and creates a [Modular Startup](/modular-startup) configuration all setup to read your App's configured RDBMS connection string for instant utility:

::: sh
npx add-in postgres
:::

::: sh
npx add-in sqlserver
:::

::: sh
npx add-in mysql
:::

::: sh
npx add-in sqlite
:::

::: sh
npx add-in oracle
:::

::: sh
npx add-in firebird
:::

If you don't have the dotnet `x` tool installed, it can be installed with: 

::: sh
dotnet tool install -g x
:::
