# [Add a library to module dependencies](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/library.html#define-a-module-library)

Global and project libraries are not available until you add them to module dependencies.

1. From the main menu, select `File` -> `Project Structure` -> `Project Settings` -> `Modules`.
2. Select the module for which you want to add a library and click `Dependencies`.
3. Click the Add button (`+`) and select `Library`.


4. In the dialog that opens, select a project or a global library that you want to add to the module.

Alternatively, click New Library and select how do you want to add a new library: you can add a Java and Kotlin libraries from files on your computer, or download a library from Maven.


References to module libraries are stored in the module .iml file. This file is used for keeping module configuration. For more information on module files, refer to [Modules](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-managing-modules.html).

# [Download a library from Maven](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/library.html#download-libraries-from-maven)

1. From the main menu, select `File` -> `Project Structure` (`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`Shift`+`S`) and click `Libraries`.
2. Click Add (`+`) and select From `Maven`.
3. In the next dialog, specify the library artifact (for example, `org.openjfx:javafx-web:18`). If you don't know its exact name, enter the key words and click Search.

You can also specify another library location, and select whether you want to download transitive dependencies, source files, Javadoc files, or annotations.
