Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installation for Apache Cordova Development

It's true that you don't need specific IDE for Apache Cordova development. But using an IDE will let you do anything easier and give you more productivity. So far, Microsoft Visual Studio is currently the best IDE for hybrid app development using Apache Cordova. Especially for a novice like me.


Follow these steps to install it on your Windows 10 PC.

First, you need to download Visual Studio 2015 community edition

It is free to use for individual and organization with some terms and condition. So, you don't need to be hesitate to download. You can read the usage part in the bottom of the page to know further about the terms and conditions.

Go to this link and click the download button.



Double click on the downloaded file. Wait for a while to let the installer to get necessary files.

Select Custom then click Next.


Expand Cross Platform Mobile Development node, and check on HTML/Javascript (Apache Cordova). Then click next


Click Install on the next page and wait until installation complete. It will take a long time (more than 30 minutes in my PC), so you can leave it for a while.

Following will be displayed after complete install. Click Launch to launch Visual Studio.


Before able to use Visual Studio, you need to sign in using your Microsoft account or create new one if you don't have any.
