It’s been a while since I last posted an article. I’ve been really busy with the technical training sessions I’ve been facilitating. Not only that, the craziest thing also happened to me just last week. My personal laptop, where I keep all of my important files, do all of my mobile development, etc., has succumbed to the ephemeral nature of its existence. In short, it’s broken. I still have three upcoming events and I need a machine to share my presentation and do the demos. Luckily, my company lend me a Mac.
The “Problem”
![Xamarin Xamarin](/uploads/1/2/6/7/126730220/493039481.png)
The thing is, this is the first time I’m going to use a Mac and I’m kind of not really happy using a Mac machine since I’ve been a solid PC master race member since birth. So, yeah, this is new to me. Yes, I have no problems with showing my presentations to the audiences using Mac. What I was worried about is my development setup. How can I demo Xamarin Development? (I’m kind of underestimating the power of Mac :P) And yes, I knew that Visual Studio for Mac exists, but I wasn’t sure what else to setup other than that. I thought I needed to install different components, configure a couple of stuff, etc. But I was wrong. So so wrong. All I needed to do was to launch Visual Studio Installer and install Visual Studio for Mac and that’s it!
Download Visual Studio Installer for Mac
First of all, what you need to do is to download the Visual Studio Installer by going to this link and click the Download Visual Studio for Mac button. It will download a disk image (.dmg) file of Visual Studio Installer.
Launch the Visual Studio Installer
Once done downloading the installer, you can launch it and you will see this application. You can just press the big install icon. It will check if some of the components are installed and load a couple of stuff and proceed to the next installation step.
A popup will appear wherein you can read the license terms. You can just press continue.
Getting Xcode (Optional)
If you’re only developing an application for Android, you can skip this step. Though, most likely, you will. So you need to install Xcode by clicking Get Xcode. We will not discuss how to install Xcode, we will focus on the Visual Studio installation.
What would you like to install?
This is the next step on your installation. This will install the Visual Studio IDE + Xamarin Profiler Which you can use to find memory leaks, resolve performance bottlenecks, and add polish to your apps before getting them out the door. The next two categories are the platforms and tools. For the platforms, you have Xamarin Native development for Android and iOS (both include the Xamarin.Forms). You also have macOS development. For tools, you have Xamarin Workbooks and Xamarin UI Inspector. All platforms and tools are initially checked, but you can excluded any of them. But, I would suggest to install all of them, because they’re all significant. Well, I guess you won’t be using macOS :P

IDE, Platform and Tools Installation
After selecting the platform and tools that you want to install, you can finally continue will the actual installation. I installed all platforms and tools and it took me 3 hours (my connection sucks). The installation will ask for your machine credentials for a couple of times. It won’t continue with the installation unless you type in your credentials.
Launch Visual Studio
Once done with the installation, you can now launch Visual Studio! Nope, there is nothing else you need to download and install. You can now create a new Xamarin project and run it without any issue. You also have the XAML previewer running here and it looks really clean.
This makes me really happy, because I was thinking it will consume a lot of my time setting my development environment up. Apparently, Visual Studio Installer is all I need. This article really won’t help you that much with the installation. This is more of a reaction to Visual Stuio for Mac and also an appreciation blog post for the Visual Studio team. I really appreciate it, because it’s hassle-free. Hope you Mac guys try Visual Studio for Mac out, too. Happy coding!
Reference/s:
These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
Download macOS
Find the appropriate download link in the upgrade instructions for each macOS version:
macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, ormacOS High Sierra
Installers for each of these macOS versions download directly to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS Catalina, Install macOS Mojave, or Install macOS High Sierra. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. Important: To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.

Avast cleanup premium download. OS X El Capitan
El Capitan downloads as a disk image. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer. Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolume
in these commands with the name of your volume.
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
El Capitan: - Press Return after typing the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Y
to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the bootable installer is created. - When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Catalina. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the
--applicationpath
argument, similar to the way this argument is used in the command for El Capitan.Use the bootable installer
After creating the bootable installer, follow these steps to use it:
- Plug the bootable installer into a compatible Mac.
- Use Startup Manager or Startup Disk preferences to select the bootable installer as the startup disk, then start up from it. Your Mac will start up to macOS Recovery.
Learn about selecting a startup disk, including what to do if your Mac doesn't start up from it. - Choose your language, if prompted.
- A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the Internet, but it does require the Internet to get information specific to your Mac model, such as firmware updates. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, use the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar.
- Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
