Hello and welcome to this video.
In this video I'll be showing you how to install Visual Studio.
The link to download features to studio is displayed on the screen.
This is the download page for Visual Studio as of the time I am recording this video.
The current version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio 20 19.
There are three additions of Visual Studio.
We have a community the professional and the enterprise.
The community is completely free.
The professional and enterprise.
You can try them out for a limited period before you have to buy them.
You can also compare the additions so if you click on this link to compare additions it gives you some
comparison between the different additions of Visual Studio.
So if you look true you can look at these supported features in each of the additions of Visual Studio.
So feel free to take a look so that you can acquaint yourself with the comparisons of these different
additions.
I am going to download the community addition so I'm going to click on this link to download it and
that should begin download shortly to the download is progressing here on the bottom left hand corner
of my screen the installer has completed its downloads I'm just going to double click on the installer
link here to run the installer the installer gives you this message here before you can get started
we need to set up a few things so that you can configure your installation so I'm going to click on
this Continue button to install a Visual Studio you also have to select workloads so there are different
workloads in Visual Studio for you to install a work load is a bundle of tools within Visual Studio
that helps you to be productive with certain languages or platforms so if you want to develop desktop
applications with C++ for example then you have to install the relevant WORKLOAD SO workloads are just
a bunch of tools to help with your development and make you productive.
So I'm going to go through the workloads here on the desktop and mobile I'm going to click on this checkbox
here to select the net desktop development.
This will help me develop applications that are desk top based and mobile as well.
So it tells you on the right here gives you the installation details of the components that are going
to be installed.
It also tells you the total space required to install this component.
So I've got one workload selected I'm just going to look through and look for another workload.
I'm going to also select the air speed dot net and web development workloads so quick to check that
this is on the web and cloud as long as you have one workload selected you can progress with the installation.
You can always come back here and add more workload even after you've installed Visual Studio.
So don't worry you don't have to select all the workload as long as you select one or more so that you
can install for your studio.
You can always come back and add more later.
So the total space required for the two workloads I have selected is seven point six two gigabyte.
So I'm going to click on the install button here on the bottom right that begin the installation.
The installation can take a while depending on the workload you have selected the installation of Visual
Studio community.

change that at any time.
And I just click to start features to do Visual Studio has now launched.
