I personally like to save them before I run them, but that’s just me. Once you fill out the form, click the download button of your choice and save or run the “XamarinInstaller-VS2015.exe” file.
When you click on that link it will take you to a page to download the actual Xamarin installer for Visual Studio 2015. When the project is created, you will see a document with instructions on how to download Xamarin.ĭo what the form says and click the “Download Xamarin” button.

Next you need to uninstall everything Xamarin that you have. This should make your life so much easier.įirst, you need to install Visual Studio 2015 Preview. I spent most of my morning trying to get this to work, so I will save you the troubles that I went through and just tell you what you need to do.
