+### Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData Package Installation
+Using .NET CLI:
+```bash
+dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData
+```
+
+Using Package Manager:
+```bash
+Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData
+```
+
+### Getting Started
+
+#### Creating an OData Service
+
+Here's a simple example of how to create an OData service using `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData`:
+
+**I. Create an ASP.NET Core Application**:
+- Open Visual Studio and create a new ASP.NET Core Web API project.
+
+**II. Add the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData` Package**:
+- Install the package using the instructions above.
+
+**III. Define Your Models**:
+- Create your data models. For example:
+  ```cs
+    namespace MyODataApp.Models
+    {
+        public class Product
+        {
+            public int Id { get; set; }
+            public string Name { get; set; }
+            public decimal Price { get; set; }
+        }
+    }
+  ```
+
+**IV. Add an OData Controller**:
+- Create a controller to handle OData requests:
+  ```cs
+    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
+    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData.Routing.Controllers;
+    using MyODataApp.Models;
+    using System.Collections.Generic;
+    using System.Linq;
+
+    namespace MyODataApp.Controllers
+    {
+        public class ProductsController : ODataController
+        {
+            private static List<Product> products = new List<Product>
+            {
+                new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Product 1", Price = 10.0M },
+                new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Product 2", Price = 20.0M }
+            };
+
+            [EnableQuery]
+            public IActionResult Get()
+            {
+                return Ok(products);
+            }
+
+            [EnableQuery]
+            public IActionResult Get(int key)
+            {
+                var product = products.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Id == key);
+                if (product == null)
+                {
+                    return NotFound();
+                }
+                return Ok(product);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+  ```
+
+**V. Configure OData in `Startup.cs`**:
+- Configure OData routes and services:
+
+- If you work with `Program.cs`, update as below. Refer to the [Getting Started Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/odata/webapi-8/getting-started).
+
+  ```cs
+    // using statements
+    var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
+
+    var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
+    modelBuilder.EntityType<Order>();
+    modelBuilder.EntitySet<Customer>("Customers");
+
+    builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
+        options => options.Select().Filter().OrderBy().Expand().Count().SetMaxTop(null).AddRouteComponents(
+            "odata",
+            GetEdmModel()));
+
+    var app = builder.Build();
+
+    // Send "~/$odata" to debug routing if enable the following middleware
+    // app.UseODataRouteDebug();
+    app.UseRouting();
+
+    app.MapControllers();
+
+    app.Run();
+
+    static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
+    {
+        var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
+        builder.EntitySet<Product>("Products");
+        return builder.GetEdmModel();
+    }
+  ```
+
+  ```cs
+    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
+    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
+    using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
+    using Microsoft.OData.Edm;
+    using Microsoft.OData.ModelBuilder;
+
+    namespace MyODataApp
+    {
+        public class Startup
+        {
+            public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
+            {
+                services.AddControllers();
+                services.AddOData(opt => opt.AddModel("odata", GetEdmModel()).Filter().Select().Expand().OrderBy().Count().SetMaxTop(100));
+            }
+
+            public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
+            {
+                // Send "~/$odata" to debug routing if enable the following middleware
+                // app.UseODataRouteDebug();
+                app.UseRouting();
+                app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
+                {
+                    endpoints.MapControllers();
+                    endpoints.Select().Expand().Filter().OrderBy().Count().MaxTop(100);
+                    endpoints.MapODataRoute("odata", "odata", GetEdmModel());
+                });
+            }
+
+            private static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
+            {
+                var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
+                builder.EntitySet<Product>("Products");
+                return builder.GetEdmModel();
+            }
+        }
+    }
+  ```
+
+**VI. Run Your Application**:
+
+- Start your application and navigate to `/odata/Products` to see your OData service in action.
+
+
+**That's it.**
