# TL;DR

Add the Xdg.Directories package to your project:

    dotnet add package Xdg.Directories

Then use the `BaseDirectory` and `UserDirectory` classes to access the XDG directories:

    using System;
    using Xdg.Directories;

    // Prints /home/$USER/.local/share
    Console.Writeline(BaseDirectory.DataHome);

    // Prints /home/$USER/Documents
    Console.Writeline(UserDirectory.DocumentsDir);
