# Avalonia Templates for `dotnet new`
For more information about `dotnet new` templates see [here](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/04/02/how-to-create-your-own-templates-for-dotnet-new/).
## Installing the templates
Run from a command line (`.NET 7+`):
```powershell
dotnet new install Avalonia.Templates
```
For `.NET 6`, the argument is `--install`:
```powershell
dotnet new --install Avalonia.Templates
```
The templates should now be available in `dotnet new list`:
```

Avalonia .NET MVVM App avalonia.mvvm [C#],F# Desktop/Xaml/Avalonia/Windows/Linux/macOS
Avalonia Cross Platform Application avalonia.xplat [C#],F# Desktop/Xaml/Avalonia/Web/Mobile
Avalonia Resource Dictionary avalonia.resource Desktop/Xaml/Avalonia/Windows/Linux/macOS

Avalonia UserControl avalonia.usercontrol [C#],F# Desktop/Xaml/Avalonia/Windows/Linux/macOS
Avalonia Window avalonia.window [C#],F# Desktop/Xaml/Avalonia/Windows/Linux/macOS
```
**Note:**
By default dotnet CLI would create a **C#** template,if you want to create **F#** template you will need to add ```-lang F#``` to the end of the command.
# Creating a new Application
To create a new barebones application called `MyApp` in its own subdirectory, run:
```
dotnet new avalonia.app -o MyApp
```
Available parameters:
``-f, --framework``
*Description*: The target framework for the project.
*Options*: **net9.0**, **net8.0**
*By default*: net9.0
``-av, --avalonia-version``
*Description*: The target version of Avalonia NuGet packages.
*By default*: 11.2.1
``-cb, --compiled-bindings``
*Description*: Defines if CompiledBindings should be enabled by default in the project (only supported in 11.0 version and newer). See [documentation](https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/data-binding/compiledbindings) for more details.
*Options*: **true**, **false**
*By default*: true
``--no-restore``
*Description*: If specified, skips the automatic restore of the project on create.
# Creating a new MVVM Application
MVVM is the recommended pattern for creating Avalonia applications. The MVVM application template
uses [ReactiveUI](https://reactiveui.net/) to ease building applications with complex interactions.
To create a new MVVM application called `MyApp` in its own subdirectory, run:
```
dotnet new avalonia.mvvm -o MyApp
```
Available parameters:
``-f, --framework``
*Description*: The target framework for the project.
*Options*: **net9.0**, **net8.0**
*By default*: net9.0
``-av, --avalonia-version``

*Options*: **true**, **false**
*By default*: false
