Installation

To use MonoGame.Extended with FNA, you will need to clone the MonoGame.Extended repository locally By default, MonoGame.Extended expects to be in the same directory that you have the FNA source repository cloned too

Once you have the source repos cloned, added a reference to the /source/MonoGame.Extended/FNA.Extended.csproj project file in your game project.

tip

The requirement for FNA and MonoGame.Extended cloned repositories being sibling directories is only the default setup. If you would like to adjust this, you can adjust the FNA project reference path in the /source/MonoGame.Extended/FNA.Extended.csproj file.
