# MonoGame.Extended
|
|
|
|
MonoGame.Extended is a set of utilities (in the form of libraries/tools) to [MonoGame](http://www.monogame.net/) that makes it easier to make games. Choose what you want, the rest stays out of your way. It makes MonoGame more awesome.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
The libraries and tools are distributed as NuGet packages. The libraries can be installed into your existing MonoGame project with ease using a NuGet UI or CLI.
|
|
|
|
CLI:
|
|
|
|
dotnet add package MonoGame.Extended
|
|
|
|
Once you've installed one or more of the main packages you might also want to install the Content Pipeline extensions.
|
|
|
|
To do this you'll need to manually reference the `MonoGame.Extended.Content.Pipeline.dll` in the [MonoGame Content Pipeline Tool](http://docs.monogameextended.net/Installation/#referencing-the-content-pipeline-extension) because it doesn't support NuGet directly.
|
|
|
|
Alternately, if you want to try the latest and greatest you might want to [build from source](http://docs.monogameextended.net/Development/Building-from-Source/).
