 Follow these instructions to support ProGuard or DexGuard with the Android agent. Check [our Android compatibility and requirements](/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-android/get-started/new-relic-android-compatibility-requirements), and if you have previously installed the Android agent SDK, follow the [steps before upgrading](/docs/mobile-apps/android-1-upgrade) to the latest version with ProGuard or DexGuard.

 The steps below are outlined in our guided install. Note that even if you manually install the agent, you'll still need to create a New Relic app and obtain the generated application token. This token is essential for the agent to send data to New Relic.

-Add the Android agent plugin to your project.
-
-Regarding the location of the plugin, you have two options:
-
-* Recommended: Using the Gradle plugin DSL
-    * Starting with agent version 7.6.0, the Android agent plugin is available on the [Gradle Plugin Portal](https://plugins.gradle.org/) as a community plugin. The Gradle plugin DSL simpifies adding plugin dependencies to apps.
-    * This method involves adding the agent plugin dependency to your project's plugins DSL block.
-* Legacy Plugin ID (`newrelic`)
-    * For older projects or specific use cases, you can use the legacy plugin ID.
