## Development



### Prerequisites

In order to debug this solution you will have to install [MonoDevelop.AddinMaker](https://github.com/mhutch/MonoDevelop.AddinMaker).



The aim of this project is to practice and experiment with Visual Studio for macOS extensions development.

To play around with this solution just clone this repository and open it with you VS. To build a mpack package, build the solution in Release mode and execute *pack_addin.sh* the output will be redirected to *Versions* directory.
