Getting Started

To develop applications with MonoMac, you will need to install the Mono Runtime and the MonoDevelop IDE.

Since MonoMac is currently under development, you must install the add-in separately from MonoDevelop, this is how you install it:

Open the Add-in Manager from the Tools->Add-in Manager menu.
Click the Install add-ins button to open the Add-in Installation dialog.
Click the Repositories button to open the Add-in Repository Management dialog.
Click the Add button, ensure the Register an on-line repository option is selected, and enter the URL ``
```
http://addins.monodevelop.com/Alpha/Mac/2.4
```
then press Ok.
Click the Close button to return to the installation dialog.
Expand the Mac development category, and check the MonoMac development addin.
Press the Forward button. You will be shown a page confirming that the MonoMac development addin will be installed. Press Forward again, then when the installation finishes click Close.
Restart MonoDevelop

When the MonoMac addin is installed, a MonoMac Project template will become available in the New Solution dialog.

NOTE: You may also wish to add the repository URLs

http://addins.monodevelop.com/Stable/Mac/2.4

and ``

http://addins.monodevelop.com/Beta/Mac/2.4

in order to download other available addins. In future versions of MonoDevelop the addins.monodevelop.com repositories will be registered by default.
