Hello! In this video will go step by step by the process of installing Visual Studio Community 2022.
1

2
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:20,350
If you already have Visual Studio at this version or any other IDE that supports .NET 6 development,
2

3
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:22,510
feel free to skip this video.
3

4
00:00:22,930 --> 00:00:26,470
In this course, we use .NET 6 and C# 10.
4

5
00:00:26,650 --> 00:00:31,750
So in case something doesn't work for you, please make sure your IDE supports them.
5

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,880
Visual Studio Community is a free development environment, which you can use to create and run 
6

7
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:39,700
C# code.
7

8
00:00:40,330 --> 00:00:45,610
Please note that the installation process might be slightly different if you are not on Windows.
8

9
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:51,010
You will find more information about that in the document attached to this video.
9

10
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:55,890
Let's start by simply typing "Visual Studio Community" in the browser.
10

11
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Let's select the first result, which should lead us straight to the Visual Studio page in Microsoft's
11

12
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,870
domain.
12

13
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:08,270
Now let's click on this button.
13

14
00:01:14,370 --> 00:01:19,260
This pop up is about the privacy settings, so I'm just going to click Continue.
14

15
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:29,620
Here we have a couple of options, depending on what kind of applications we want to build. In our case,
15

16
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:32,810
selecting ".NET desktop development" is enough.
16

17
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:36,780
We can now click the Install button.
17

18
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:43,080
This process might take a while, so consider making a cup of coffee.
18

19
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:53,210
When the installation process finishes, two things may happen.
19

20
00:01:53,660 --> 00:02:00,440
First, you might be asked to restart your machine, which you should do. After restarting, simply run
20

21
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,380
Visual Studio 2022 from the Start Menu.
21

22
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:08,210
And second, you might be asked to log in to your Microsoft account.
22

23
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:15,350
As we said before, Visual Studio Community is a free tool, but you are still asked to create a free
23

24
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:18,080
Microsoft account if you intend to use it
24

25
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,880
beyond the trial period.
25

26
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,600
All right, let's make sure everything works.
26

27
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:30,240
I'm going to create a new project by simply clicking here. In this window
27

28
00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:32,540
we must select a project template.
28

29
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:39,470
For now, let's just select the Console Application, making sure we selected C#, not Visual Basic
29

30
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:40,970
or F#.
30

31
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,420
We can now click Next.
31

32
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:48,590
For now, we'll just create a sample project,
32

33
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,330
so the name doesn't matter.
33

34
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,800
We can click Next.
34

35
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,810
In this window, we select the version of .NET.
35

36
00:02:57,470 --> 00:03:01,280
I'm going to keep .NET 6. Starting with this version
36

37
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,200
C# 10 is supported.
37

38
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:05,240
We can now click Create.
38

39
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,550
And here is our solution and the program file.
39

40
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:17,640
If you haven't used Visual Studio 2022 before, you may be a bit surprised.
40

41
00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:21,690
There is no Program class here, nor the Main method.
41

42
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:26,610
This is how this file looked like in older versions of Visual Studio.
42

43
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,130
Well, don't worry about that.
43

44
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:30,680
It's just an improvement
44

45
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:36,180
of C# 10 that reduces the amount of code to need to write. Whatever
45

46
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:40,920
we write here will be put inside the Main method during the compilation.
46

47
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,030
Let's make sure we can run this program by simply clicking here.
47

48
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,360
All right.
48

49
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:52,250
Seems everything is working.
49

50
00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:56,330
Thanks for watching this video and I'll see you in the next one.
