How to Install Hot towel SPA on Visual 2013, I cannot see the template in the web section

Question

EDIT: I forgot to say that on my machine there was VS2012 installed either, sorry.

I tried with VS2013 but it did't work for me, may be I am missing something.

Creating a new project I've chosen Visual C# -> Web than a Web Application and I cannot see the Jhon Papa's hot towel template within it

I have installed, I guess correctly the file HotTowelSpa.2013.vsix but I still cannot see the template at all.

I even tried to install the package with an SPA web app opened, with the following steps

Tools -> Lybrary package Manager -> Package Manager Consol

and I wrote this string

PM> Install-Package HotTowel.

It seems that every was installed but when I try to run the project it doesn't show the Papa's Home template. Where I am wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help

Answer 1

Firstly download and run the Hot Towel Spa (VS 2013) vsix file.

Then in Visual Studio navigate to : File --> New Project --> Template -> Visual C# --> Web --> Visual Studio 2012 and select ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application:

From here you should see HotTowel SPA in the templates list:

In the link you find in the comment above you can find the solution that I've reported here, wrote by

If you have VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed, the template gets installed under the 2012 sub template section in 2013.
