Step 1
Create an ASP.NET MVC or Web API project.
Step 2
Run the below command in the Package Manager console:
PM> Install-Package Angular2-Template-for-MVC-and-WebAPI -Version 1.0.0
[Follow the console instruction and give Y or N flag as per your requirement].
Step 3
Go to the project and search for "package.json". Right click on it, search for "Restore Packages", and click on it.
It will take several minutes; Keep patience and wait until the packages get installed successfully. It might be possible your project is not getting compiled and you are getting several compile errors as in the below screen. If it happens, restart Visual Studio 2017 and again build the solution. I am sure this time it should be compiled successfully.
Step 4
Run the project and you can see the Angular 2 output.
Step 5 - Done
