For the brave, you can rapidly deploy incrementally updated versions of Visual F# IDE Tool components such as``FSHarp.Editor.dll`` by copying them directly into the extension directory in your user AppData folder:

-[Windows 10 SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk)

1. The`update.cmd` script adds required strong name validation skips, and NGens the compiler and libraries. This requires admin privileges.

1. The compiler binaries produced are "private" and strong-named signed with a test key.

- We use the proto compiler to compile the source for`FSharp.Core.dll` in this distribution.

- We use the proto compiler to compile the source for`FSharp.Compiler.dll`,`fsc.exe`,`fsi.exe`, and other binaries found in this distribution.

If you are behind a proxy server, NuGet client tool must be configured to use it:

Where you should set proper proxy address, user name and password.
