how to implement glide library in build.gradle.kts

Unexpected tokens (use ';' to separate expressions on the same line)

this is the error that i am getting while i am trying to implement Glide library in my app

I also tried to use

implementation(com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.16.0)

but the error still remains Can someone tell me how to implement glide library or libraries in general.

You are doing just a small mistake. You are using Groovy script syntax in a Kotlin Gradle file.

Use it like this

implementation("com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.16.0")

Tip

annotationProcessor("com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.16.0")

Make sure to include the annotationProcessor line for Glide's annotation processor. This is necessary if you use Glide's annotations for generating API (e.g., @GlideModule).

kapt("com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.16.0")

The kapt block with correctErrorTypes = true is optional but recommended for better error handling during annotation processing.

You can refer this link and scroll it down a little bit after that you can use how to use the library in maven, kotlin etc.
