1 00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:01,600 ‫Well, welcome back. 2 00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:07,170 ‫In this video, we're going to install Visual Studio, which is the software that we're going to use 3 00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:09,630 ‫in order to write our programs. 4 00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:12,810 ‫So let's go ahead and search for download Visual Studio. 5 00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:15,750 ‫You can also just type in the name here as well. 6 00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:18,690 ‫Specifically, 2022 is when a new release came out. 7 00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:21,240 ‫The version before was Visual Studio 2019. 8 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,850 ‫So there is not a new version every single year. 9 00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:27,870 ‫So if you search that, you will find Visual Studio Microsoft.com. 10 00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:33,210 ‫So let's just go over there and then it will allow us to download Visual Studio. 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,610 ‫This page might look different for you depending on when you open it up, but basically the idea is 12 00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:45,810 ‫that you want to download the community version of Visual Studio 2022, which is the free version. 13 00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:47,910 ‫So you don't have to pay anything for it. 14 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:51,360 ‫And you can of course, check out what Visual Studio does for you. 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,950 ‫It helps you to be productive. 16 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:54,390 ‫It's a modern idea. 17 00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:58,020 ‫It's innovative, which has a high powered code completion, which is pretty cool. 18 00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:01,140 ‫So you will see how it really helps you out to write your code. 19 00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:06,150 ‫You will often have not even to type much in order to get the result. 20 00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:12,270 ‫So let's go ahead and just download the Visual Studio set up exe file and once it's downloaded let's 21 00:01:12,270 --> 00:01:13,080 ‫run it. 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,910 ‫What this will do is it will not install Visual Studio itself, but it will install the Visual Studio 23 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:22,170 ‫installer, which is a software that helps you to install Visual Studio. 24 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,990 ‫So Visual Studio is an idea which stands for Integrated Development Environment. 25 00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:34,290 ‫Once the Visual Studio installer is installed, you will automatically see the screen in case it doesn't 26 00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:34,920 ‫pop up. 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,980 ‫You will find yourself on this screen here where it says installed and nothing is installed, so you 28 00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:43,290 ‫can select from available options. 29 00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:48,690 ‫And the one that I'm going to use is going to be Visual Studio community and I'm going to click on install. 30 00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:52,800 ‫So now I'm getting back to the screen that you should usually get by default. 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,400 ‫So there are multiple tabs here and we're going to go over them step by step. 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,700 ‫But first of all, let's look at what we have on the workloads. 33 00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:05,940 ‫So here you see we have Web cloud options here or workloads that we can add, for example, ASP.NET 34 00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:09,750 ‫and Web development, Node.js, Python, Azure. 35 00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:12,510 ‫So if you need any of those, you can install them. 36 00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:15,840 ‫But these will be advanced topics which you will not need at the beginning. 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,180 ‫Desktop and mobile applications, however, will be relevant for us because we're going to specifically 38 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:23,130 ‫rise WPF applications. 39 00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:28,470 ‫So I would recommend that you directly install this workload as well. 40 00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:35,550 ‫You can obviously also just go ahead and install unity directly, but we're going to do that very late 41 00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:38,610 ‫into the course, so don't worry about it at this point. 42 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:43,200 ‫So now you can go over to the individual components tab here. 43 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,370 ‫You will find all of the components that you can select and select. 44 00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:54,480 ‫So, for example, you could even go ahead and install super old dot net core runtimes such as 2.1 or 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,900 ‫3.1, which are either out of support or ltz, which stands for a long time support. 46 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:06,750 ‫So it's still supported and many solutions are built using dot net core 3.1, but the latest one is 47 00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:08,520 ‫dot net 6.0. 48 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,850 ‫So the naming convention has changed over time and Microsoft has put everything together starting from 49 00:03:14,850 --> 00:03:15,810 ‫dot net five. 50 00:03:15,810 --> 00:03:19,500 ‫This includes the dot net core as well as other frameworks. 51 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:25,200 ‫So what I would like you to do is also to select dot net five runtime because in some of the videos 52 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,910 ‫we're going to still use it. 53 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:34,320 ‫So you can obviously install whatever you want from this here, but I would recommend not to just leave 54 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,560 ‫the default except for this one setting that I just showed you here at the very top to add dot net five 55 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,340 ‫runtime. 56 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:45,720 ‫Now if you want to install other language packages, feel free to do so. 57 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,340 ‫So you can see by default. 58 00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:52,410 ‫In my case, English is selected, but you can use any of the given language packages here and install 59 00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:53,490 ‫them if you want to. 60 00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:59,760 ‫And then you can also change the installation location as well as the download cache, as well as see 61 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040 ‫where the shared components are going to go. 62 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:09,030 ‫So this is where by default our solutions when we create a new application are going to go. 63 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,430 ‫Okay, at this point, let's go ahead and click on install and this will then install Visual Studio 64 00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:16,710 ‫Community 2022. 65 00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:21,390 ‫You can have multiple instances of Visual Studio in your Visual Studio installer. 66 00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:29,100 ‫So if you want to use another one, you can go to the available options here and also install enterprise 67 00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:29,730 ‫or professional. 68 00:04:29,730 --> 00:04:34,170 ‫But they are not free as they are the paid versions of Visual Studio. 69 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,950 ‫So this will then take a little while until the installation is done. 70 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,940 ‫You can see that by default start after installation is checked. 71 00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:47,730 ‫So Visual Studio Community 2022 will start once the installation is fully done. 72 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:49,150 ‫All right. 73 00:04:49,150 --> 00:04:52,990 ‫Once the installation of Visual Studio is done, you are asked to sign in. 74 00:04:52,990 --> 00:04:58,420 ‫So this allows you to sync settings across devices, collaborate in real time with live share, and 75 00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:00,910 ‫integrate seamlessly with Azure services. 76 00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:06,430 ‫You can at this point obviously go ahead and create an account or sign in if you already have one with 77 00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:07,330 ‫Microsoft. 78 00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:13,320 ‫But you can also just say not now, maybe later, and then you can decide which theme you want to use. 79 00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:19,090 ‫I mainly use this dark theme because I really like it more than the other themes, but if you feel like 80 00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:23,530 ‫the default blue theme or the light theme are your thing, just go ahead with those. 81 00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:28,360 ‫In my opinion, the dark theme is just better on the eyes if you're using it for a long time. 82 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,340 ‫So let's start Visual Studio. 83 00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:31,180 ‫All right. 84 00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:31,900 ‫And there we are. 85 00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:38,170 ‫So now you can go ahead and get started by creating a new project, for example, or you can also continue 86 00:05:38,170 --> 00:05:39,040 ‫without code. 87 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,400 ‫So let's just do that real quick to open up Visual Studio. 88 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:43,690 ‫So there we are. 89 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:50,740 ‫We have no project opened and now I just want to quickly show you, if you decide to change your color 90 00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:56,290 ‫theme because maybe you decided that the dark theme isn't your thing, then you can go over to tools, 91 00:05:56,290 --> 00:06:03,130 ‫options, and there you can directly under environment general find your color theme. 92 00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:05,380 ‫So here you could change it to blue, for example. 93 00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:10,630 ‫Let's do that real quick and you can see how the default blue theme looks like, or you can set it to 94 00:06:10,630 --> 00:06:11,890 ‫the light theme here. 95 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:14,020 ‫This is an example of the light theme. 96 00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:18,220 ‫And as I said, I'm a big fan of the dark theme, so let me set that back. 97 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:19,020 ‫Okay. 98 00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:23,500 ‫So in the next video, we're going to look at how to set up our first project. 99 00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,700 ‫So see you there.
