How can I install a github plugin into my xamarin

问题:

I just started coding in c# with Xamarin Forms and I wanted to know how I could install a plugin that I downloaded from GitHub. I searched for tutorials to install the plugin but I have not found anything about VS 2017 for mac. I tried to add the file manually but I had no success.

I have Visual Studio 2017 for Mac.

Example using Connectivity Plugin by James Montemagno

Github Plugin : ConnectivityPlugin

• Open your Project and right click on Packages and select add package

If you are using .NET 2 you can do it this way

• Search for Xam.Plugin.Connectivity I found the name here (plugins normally have a link on their github branch)

Nuget : Xam.Plugin.Connectivity

• Once found you can mark it and click on "Add Package"

• Once Added you will have to do the same process in your Android and IOS projects (its exactly the same process)

• And that's how to add a plugin :) ... If you want to get the plugin to work feel free to go through the plugin sample code here

• don't forget to read DOCUMENTATION before posting a question
