## Prerequisites

* For the development environment, we recommend using Var:VisualStudioEdition.
* You need a licensed Var:ProductNameWithEdition or later installed on your development machine.

* If you develop against a version of the API distributed with one of RWS's publicly released applications (i.e. Var:ProductNameWithEdition), all required assemblies and files should be available alongside the application.
Make sure you have the latest release of Var:ProductName installed.

* We also recommend installing the **Var:ProductName SDK** on your machine.
After installing the **Var:ProductName SDK**, the **New Project** dialog box in Var:VisualStudioEdition displays additional project templates specific to Var:ProductName application development.
* You can get the latest version from the [developer hub](https://developers.rws.com/).
* You can get the latest version from the [public repository](https://github.com/RWS/trados-studio-vs-extension).
* Or you can install directly from Var:VisualStudioEdition -> Tools -> Extensions.

* If your implementations need to connect to a TM Server system, make sure that the TM Server also runs the latest version.
* If you develop against a version of the API distributed with one of RWS's publicly released applications (i.e. Var:ProductNameWithEdition), all required assemblies and files should be available alongside the application.
Make sure you have the latest release of Var:ProductName installed.

> [!NOTE]
>
> As the build output path for your implementations, choose Var:PluginPackedPath.

## Var:ProductName Plug-in Support

The core Var:ProductName application uses a modular architecture consisting entirely of plug-ins.
These plug-ins are known as *system plug-ins*.
You cannot add system plug-ins to an existing Var:ProductName installation, and end-users cannot disable them.

In addition to system plug-ins, Var:ProductName supports various types of *third-party plug-ins*.
Third-party developers can build these plug-ins using the **Var:ProductName SDK** and deploy them into an existing Var:ProductName installation.
Var:ProductName exposes various public APIs that allow you to extend the application by building plug-ins that integrate with the core application and provide additional features and functionalities.
Third-party developers can build these plug-ins using the **Var:ProductName SDK** and deploy them into an
existing Var:ProductName installation.
This section focuses on third-party plug-in development and deployment.

Since Var:ProductName is a Microsoft .NET application, develop third-party plug-ins using **Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8**.
