Installation - galacticglum/MonoGameDesktopTemplate-YRDSB GitHub Wiki

Follow the steps below to install the MonoGame project template along with the content pipeline build tool (MGCB).

1. Close Visual Studio if it is currently open.
2. Download the "MonoGameSetupPackage" archive file from the latest release.
3. Extract the setup package to an accesible folder (e.g. Desktop).
4. Move the "MonoGameDesktopTemplate.zip" file to the Visual Studio project templates directory (e.g. "Visual Studio 2017/Templates/ProjectTemplates" located in Documents; replace "2017" with your Visual Studio version). Do NOT unzip the archive file. Simply place it inside the "Project Templates" folder.

5. To install the content pipeline build tool, extract the "MGCB_ContentPipeline.zip" file onto a USB drive (or other directory where executable files can be run. On YRDSB devices, executable files must be on a USB drive).
