## About

**Avalonia** is a WPF/UWP-inspired cross-platform XAML-based UI framework providing a flexible styling system and supporting a wide range of Operating Systems such as Windows (.NET Framework, .NET Core), Linux (via Xorg), macOS and with experimental support for Android and iOS.

**Avalonia** is ready for **General-Purpose Desktop App Development**. However, there may be some bugs and breaking changes as we continue along into this project's development. To see the status of some of our features, please see our [Roadmap here](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/2239).

## Getting Started

Avalonia [Visual Studio Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AvaloniaTeam.AvaloniaforVisualStudio) contains project and control templates that will help you get started. After installing it, open "New Project" dialog in Visual Studio, choose "Avalonia" in "Visual C#" section, select "Avalonia .NET Core Application" and press OK (<a href="http://avaloniaui.net/docs/quickstart/images/new-project-dialog.png">screenshot</a>). Now you can write code and markup that will work on multiple platforms!

For those without Visual Studio, a starter guide for .NET Core CLI can be found [here](http://avaloniaui.net/docs/quickstart/create-new-project#net-core).

Avalonia is delivered via <b>NuGet</b> package manager. You can find the packages here: ([stable(ish)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Avalonia/), [nightly](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/wiki/Using-nightly-build-feed))

Use these commands in the Package Manager console to install Avalonia manually:
```
Install-Package Avalonia
Install-Package Avalonia.Desktop
```

## Bleeding Edge Builds

or use nightly build feeds as described here:
https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/wiki/Using-nightly-build-feed

## Documentation

You can take a look at the [getting started page](http://avaloniaui.net/docs/quickstart/) for an overview of how to get started but probably the best thing to do for now is to already know a little bit about WPF/Silverlight/UWP/XAML and ask questions in our [Gitter room](https://gitter.im/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia). 

There's also a high-level [architecture document](http://avaloniaui.net/architecture/project-structure) that is currently a little bit out of date, and I've also started writing blog posts on Avalonia at http://grokys.github.io/.

Contributions for our docs are always welcome!
