title: Install ServiceStackVS
---

First we want to install [ServiceStackVS Visual Studio extension](http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5bd40817-0986-444d-a77d-482e43a48da7). The easiest way to do this is to look for it from within Visual Studio by going to Tools->Extensions and Updates and searching the Visual Studio Gallery as seen below.

## VS.NET Gallery

Optionally it can be downloaded and installed from the [VS.NET Gallery](http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5bd40817-0986-444d-a77d-482e43a48da7)

## Visual Studio 2019-2022

The latest **ServiceStackVS** from v3+ includes support for Visual Studio 2019 and 2022:

## Visual Studio 2013-2017

If you're still using VS.NET 2017, 2015 or 2013 you can use the earlier VS.NET ServiceStackVS extension:

- [ServiceStackVS for 2013-2015](https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStackVS/raw/master/dist/2018/ServiceStackVS.vsix)
- [ServiceStackVS 2.0 for 2015-2019](https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStackVS/raw/master/dist/2021/ServiceStackVS.vsix)

::: info
A limited selection of .NET Framework project templates can also be created inside VS.NET using the previous version of
[ServiceStackVS VS.NET Extension](https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStackVS/raw/master/dist/2021/ServiceStackVS.vsix), however these templates are no longer updated. From ServiceStack VS v3+, impacting Visual Studio 2019-2022, templates are no longer available in the extension. To get started with our templates it is best to use our [Getting Started page on our website](https://servicestack.net/start) or the ServiceStack [dotnet `x` tool to create new projects](/templates/#x-new).
