Refer the namespace on all your class files where you want to use this extension. All the required extensions and methods are now defined under the same namespace.

using Selenium.Essentials

[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
   Utility.InitializeFramework();
}

You are all ready to start writing code using Selenium.Essentials
