- [Instructor] Visual Studio Community with C++ is Microsoft's free but full-featured addition of Visual Studio 2017 tailored for C++ development. Please note while there are versions of Visual Studio available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, they don't support C++ as a programming language. The C++ version is only for Windows. Also, be sure that you have enough room. Visual Studio weighs in at over six gigabytes. To begin, go to VisualStudio.com/VS/ C, the word plus, and the word plus again. Click the features menu. In the third column, click C++, and the download button appears. Click the button, and then click the installer. Allow the installer to make changes to your device? Yes. Accept the license terms to continue. Now I already have Visual Studio installed. So I'm going to go ahead and exit out of here, and I'm going to launch Visual Studio. It's asking me if I have a Microsoft account. I'm just going to say not now. Maybe later. I am going to go with the light theme and start Visual Studio. It's going to take it a second to set up. And when you use the installer, you may need to reboot your machine to finish the installation. And right now we are ready to create C++ programs in Visual Studio.
