# Add the localize package
To take advantage of the localization features of Angular, use the [Angular CLI][AioCliMain] to add the `@angular/localize` package to your project.
To add the `@angular/localize` package, use the following command to update the `package.json` and TypeScript configuration files in your project.
<code-example path="i18n/doc-files/commands.sh" region="add-localize"></code-example>
It adds `types: ["@angular/localize"]` in the TypeScript configuration files as well as the reference to the type definition of `@angular/localize` at the top of the `main.ts` file.
<div class="alert is-helpful">
For more information about `package.json` and `tsconfig.json` files, see [Workspace npm dependencies][AioGuideNpmPackages] and [TypeScript Configuration][AioGuideTsConfig].
</div>
If `@angular/localize` is not installed and you try to build a localized version of your project (for example, while using the `i18n` attributes in templates), the [Angular CLI][AioCliMain] will generate an error, which would contain the steps that you can take to enable i18n for your project.
## Options
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION | VALUE TYPE | DEFAULT VALUE
|:--- |:--- |:------ |:------
| `--project` | The name of the project. | `string` |
| `--use-at-runtime` | If set, then `$localize` can be used at runtime. Also `@angular/localize` gets included in the `dependencies` section of `package.json`, rather than `devDependencies`, which is the default. | `boolean` | `false`
For more available options, see [ng add][AioCliAdd] in [Angular CLI][AioCliMain].
