Monogame for Windows 7

I cannot find where there are directions for installing Monogame and Visual Studio on Windows 7. Can someone please tell me how to install monogame and everything else required to start developing a game on windows 7?

Monogames is located in Program Files (x86)\MonoGame on 64bit pc and just Program Files\MonoGame on 32 bit

im having a problem- it only shows these options:


and doesn’t have the option of MonoGame Game (XMAL). Is there a problem or has the MonoGame Game (XMAL) template been renamed? Thanks in advance :smile:

XAML is for Windows 8 Store apps only. They cannot be built on Windows 7.
