Getting started
Setup your development environment
For Windows: Visual Studio & Visual Studio Code
To streamline your development setup, we’ve simplified the installation process into a straightforward sequence of commands.
These components are installed via the Windows Package Manager (WinGet), which comes pre-installed on Windows 11.
The default commands listed below are required for Web & API development, however,
you can choose other options too, then click the Copy button and paste them into
the Windows PowerShell as an Administrator to run.
