Browser/Frontend Setup

For frontend applications: 
import { RepstationClient } from '@repstation/sdk';

const client = new RepstationClient({
    network: 'testnet', // or 'mainnet'
    rpcUrl: 'https://api.testnet.iota.cafe',
    client: iotaClient // Optional
});

​
Verification

Test your installation with a simple reputation query: 
async function testInstallation() {
  try {
    const result = await client.getReputationProfile({
      walletAddress: '0x86d455032e8c6af6885ff07cbf4eb1f76c532e4de1f7c6358d2ed06dc51d7554'
    });
    
    if (result.success) {
      console.log('✅ Installation successful!');
      console.log('Profile:', result.profile);
    } else {
      console.log('❌ Installation issue:', result.error);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('❌ Installation failed:', error);
  }
}

testInstallation();
