Installing Cosmos on VS2026 (tutorial)

[thetoasta]

You can install Cosmos on VS2026 pretty easily. You just need to have a Cosmos copy! All you do is install the plugins that Cosmos automatically installs.

To get the 2 plugins you must either

A. Get a direct, uninstalled copy of cosmos (just download the repo)
B. Install to VS2022, then use VS2022's files.

Above is the 2 plugins/VSIX files that Cosmos needs.

VS2026 "Create a Project" screen

How to install:

1. Do either A or B in the beginning
2. Open the files for Cosmos.
3. Open VSIX, then double click the plugins.
4. Use VS2026 and do your magic!

I think this should go into discussions rather than issues 🤔

This also should probably be in the Wiki.
