Install only the packages you need:

Start with Core when your application creates or transforms workspaces.
Add Client when you need to download or publish workspaces.
Add Renderer when you need SVG output in a console app, service, or pipeline.
Add Editor when a Blazor host needs interactive layout editing in the browser.

Core only: model a workspace and hand it to another process.
Core + Client: build a workspace in code and publish it.
Core + Renderer: generate SVG artifacts locally.
Core + Renderer + Editor: render and edit layouts inside a Blazor app.
Core + Client + Renderer: generate diagrams locally and publish the same workspace remotely.
