In this video we'll get started setting up our development environment so we'll be installing Visual
Studio we can get to their website by going to visual studio adopt Microsoft dot com and then we will
proceed to download the Community Edition.
There is also a professional and there's also enterprise both of which they offer trial versions as
you would need to buy the license.
But since we are individuals who are doing this for educational purposes and not for enterprise purposes
then we can proceed with 2019 community addition to linking that option triggers a download which when
completed we can execute the program.
This launches on installer and it's a pretty straightforward process you just click continue a load
to do some more downloads and checks at the end of those checks that will launch a screen asking you
to select the modules that you wish to install.
Since we're doing C sharp programming for nets and for Dex top then we need to make sure that we select
dot net for desktop development so we just tick that box.
If nothing else gets ticked that one needs to be ticked and to the right they'll kind of list what you'll
be getting as part of this bucket.
So I'm going to take some other things because I would definitely want to include some other dominant
framework versions.
No the reality is that each version comes with its own compatibility you know support for certain things
and also reverse compatibility for older systems.
So I'm just taking all of them to make sure that I have them as options when need be.
No you look to the bottom right and then they see the tortoise space required is five point zero four
gigabytes and that's just for one module.
Now I could have ticked other modules.
Once again I don't need them for this but I'm just showing you that Visual Studio is very powerful and
it allows you to select the kind of development libraries that you will need for your context after
selecting dot net desktop and development.
That package then we can just go ahead and click install this install will proceed to download all the
packages from the Internet.
And this may take a while.
So I would reconvene when this is done once that installation process is finished then we can go ahead
and launch as your studio.
If it doesn't launch automatically
along the way you may be prompted to identify yourself using a live account.
No my level current is already kind of registered on my machine so it automatically detected me and
send me in.
But if you do not receive that automatic signing then I encourage you.
Just creates a level code and by Live account I mean you can simply go to Microsoft dot com.
Proceed to click sign in.
You don't have an account.
So you just create one and then the cool thing is that you don't have to have an act.
So Microsoft service dot com.
G.M. works at Yahoo works whichever e-mail address you use primarily you can use that as your live account.
And then once you've completed that registration with that live account then for Visual Studio you can
proceed to use that level cloned to sign in notes that the community addition is very free.
But then they will tell you that you have a 30 day trial and that is really pending your creation of
a live account and using it to authenticate in Visual Studio.
Once you get to this screen then you know that your installation has been completed and as we go along
we'll see how we create the project and understand our development environments.
