Babylon.js is “… a complete javascript for building 3D Games with HTML 5 and WebGL.”

o Open up your favorite browser and navigate to https://www.visualstudio.com/. Note:

I’m using Internet Explorer so your screen may look different.

o Click on the purple button Download Visual Studio Community :

o Click the Run button (and wait for a bit):

o Click the Install button a dialog box will pop-up asking if it’s okay to make changes to

your system (not shown), click OK:

o Wait for everything to load. This will take a while:

o Click the Restart Now button and wait for your system to restart (not shown)

o Launch Visual Studio 2015 (Not shown. There should be an icon on your start screen).

Since this is the first time running it, you will see a sign-in screen:

o Click the Sign in button:

o Enter the e-mail address that you use to sign into windows, then click continue

o Complete the entering of your login information, then click the Sign in button

o Click Start Visual Studio and wait:

You’re now ready to start programming using Babylon.js! Anytime you want to program a

new Babylon.js project, or you want to work on an existing project, just startup Visual

Studio from the Windows start screen.
