Open xml runtime requirements

I am creating a .NET application to manipulate word files using OpenXml SDK.

What are the prequisites (in runtime environment) to use Open Xml? Do i need to install Open XML SDK or toolkit on client machine?

Is it possible to just provide the referenced libraries with application, and do away with any open xml installer related dependency?

If you are using .NET Core install the DocumentFormat.OpenXml from the NuGet package.

Right Click on Packages - > Manage NuGetPackages - > Select - >DocumentFormat.OpenXML

Import the below namespaces

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing;

for reference please go through below link

The second download in the link that's referenced in your question contains and installs the DocumentFormat.OpenXml dll. Your visual studio project needs a reference to this dll. You also need .NET 3.5 and above. Then you can get started on using Open XML.

The first download contains a link to Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity tool. This tool allows you see how the XML structure of a document looks like. It also helps you to "reverse-engineer" an excel or a word document and thus is highly recommended (though not mandatory.)

Also I would highly recommend going through the MSDN documentation
