MonoGame Mac installation instructions

Does anyone know how to install MonoGame on Mac. I have been looking around for a while and I can't find any guides. I have Mono and MonoDevelop up and running fine, but I cannot figure out how to install MonoGame. Thanks.

Just to update this post for modern (post MonoDevelop and .SLN,the new SDK structure) times.

The directions for VS Code and Apple Silicon are answered in this question.

Only continue reading on Intel(x64) Macs.

For Visual Studio for Mac setup and instructions:

Install Visual Studio for Mac

Install MonoGame extension for Visual Studio for Mac

Since version 3.8, the packages are NuGet based; simply update the NuGet packages in the references for the latest version.

The new dotnet SDK structure with framework and X64 vs ARM(Apple Silicon) caveats are expanded upon in this [question].

In general with MonoGame:

  • Download the source code off GitHub
  • Start a new project
  • Add Existing Project for MonoGame.YourPlatform.csproj and Lidgren.Network.YourPlatform.csproj
  • Add a reference to MonoGame with your new project

There really isn't anything to "install".
