It's a DLL isn't it? Just add it as reference to your project, you don't have to install anything. — Colm Prunty, Sep 03 '13 at 08:24

If you only want the binaries and not the source then make sure to download the binaries download - otherwise you will need to build the source yourself.

Extract the zip file and inside you will find a dll called lastfm-sharp. I recommend moving this to a lib directory in your project. Then you need to add a reference to to your project which is explained here.

i did it, i imported the lib as a new project in the solution, i converted from 2008 to 2010 vs version, i corrected some warnings due to conversion, i compiled it, it was created the dll, and i included the reference into my project. thanks. – axel Sep 03 '13 at 09:36
FYI, if you have included the project in your solution you should add a reference to that project - not the dll. – James Hull Sep 03 '13 at 09:46
