You can use Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2012   Simply update your NuGet package in Visual Studio to Microsoft AspNet Mvc 5 0   You may have to search pre-release   Also the default project comes with Entity Framework 6 0  and ASP NET Razor 3 0   You may also need ASP NET Identity Core and OWIN   All of these can be downloaded updated through menu Tools   Library package manager   Manage NuGet Packages for Solution      If you don t yet have NuGet  follow this tutorial   http   docs nuget org docs start-here installing-nuget
