下载的FsLab模板怎么办？

Question

Sorry for the question, but I am definitely not an "advanced" user.

I installed the FsLab and FsLab Journal using NuGet .

The instructions in https://fslab.org/download/ tell one to Download FsLab Journal template (which I did, and got a folder called FsLab.Templates-journal on my desktop). Next there is a link saying Install Visual Studio template . If I click on that I go to a page in the Visual Studio Marketplace with the title FsLab Journal and a green Download button. When I click on that button nothing happens. On the same page it says FsLab Journal works with Visual Studio 2012, 2013 and 2015. (Does it work with VS 2017?)

I would like to use FsLab and FsLab Journal to interactively see tables and charts in FSI. I hope FsLab Journal will help me do that but right now I am stuck and do not know what to do with the folder I downloaded (inside a zip file). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First you are going to need to unzip the folder, then open the .fsproj file with visual studio.

Go to the .paket folder, run paket.bootstrapper.exe

Go to the root folder, run build.cmd

Open Tutorial.fsx, select everything, right click -> Execute in interactive window.
