installing "code snippet studio"

exal

hi there. i hope i am in the right section here.

i am trying to install "code snippet studio" on my visual studio 2019 in order to be able to work with "ctrader code snippets" like shown in the video below on time-code 1:30min. But i can not find "code snippet studio" like it is described in the video. i even tried over google but it seems to work only on vs 2015. bc after downloading it i was not able to install it.

furthermore i didn´t really understand where i do get the "ctrader code snippets" folder with its snippets like shown by minute 3:45.

do i have to download them from somewhere?

thank you.

Hi, that video is a little outdated, I would use GitHub now.

It would also be better to create your own snippets to start and just copy and paste when you need them.

yes but since i am just starting to build my first little bots i wanted to work with already existing snippets like it is often recommended in the beginner videos. that was the idea behind my attempts

If you install cTrader you will see sample cBots and indicators, you can use these as a base for your first projects.

We are going to start a new algo school this year with snippets on GitHub, this is the modern approach.
