I've managed to install Entity Framework on Visual Studio Community 2017 for Mac as a Nuget Package. However, when I try to add ADO.NET Entity Data Model, I can't. I only see options to add files.

I have Visual Studio 2017 installed (the latest release). I added the Entity Framework package via Nuget, but I am unable to add an ADO.Net Entity Framework object to my project, as nothing appears in the item list. Any ideas? Thanks.
List of data components available when adding a new item to the project
I went with the latest Entity Framework, ver 6.2. I ended up installing VS 2017 and re-installing. That resolved the issue. Turns out if you had an earlier release of VS 2017, you had to perform some manual steps on the extensions for SSRS and SSAS when SSDT was also installed.
The installer for the latest version of Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio only has options for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 - does anyone know a way to add 2013 to the list? I cannot use VS2013 until I can get this to work.
As of ODT Version 12.1.0.1.2 Visual Studio 2013 is supported:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/newfeatures-084113.html
The Oracle provider is not yet currently built against EF6 so if you are planning on using Entity Framework in MVC5, you need to install EF5 by running "Install-Package EntityFramework -Version 5.0.0" on the Package Manager Console.
If you are starting a bootstrapped MVC5 WebApp don't use the Individual User Account membership provider as it relies on EF6. You can go for one of the many alternate membership providers (http://nugetmusthaves.com/Tag/membership)
ODT is not available yet for VS2013. The current latest release (ODT 12.1.0.1.0) only supports 2008, 2010 and 2012.

"Integration with Visual Studio: Use Server Explorer with Visual Studio 2012 to browse your Oracle schema and launch one of the many integrated Oracle designers and wizards to create and alter schema objects. Use Microsoft Query Designer to visually design queries. Visual Studio 2010 and 2008 are also supported."
I have a wonderful solution in Visual Studio 2012 with a Web project using WebAPI and a supporting Web Service project for data using Entity Framework (EF) Code First. I was just told I need to see about using Visual Studio 2010.
Is there something I can do to work on this project in Visual Studio 2010?
As Henrick answers: you do not upgrade/downgrade VS installs, rather you install versions side by side.
You note two technologies that might be problematic:
EF Code First: this is supported from 4.1 (or was it 4.2?) which is supported against .NET 4.0 and VS2010. Providing your not using enum or geo/spatial data types (which require .NET 4.5) this should work, but you'll need to ensure you update to the EF5 NuGet package for .NET 4.
WebAPI: This is new in MVC4, which comes with VS2012, but is a separate install for .NET 4/VS2010.
Finally. While some project types with round trip between VS2012 and VS2010 SP1 (you need the service pack) it is not true for all project types. Details are on MSDN.
You can install Visual Studio 2010 separately and open the project and see. There is no danger in having version 2005, 2008, 2010 or 2012 of Visual Studio installed.
I have Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 (both Professional editions) installed. I installed Entity Framework 4.1 but after that neither VS-2008 nor VS-2010 is showing ADO.NET Entity Data Model in the choices when I select Add New Item from the Solution Explorer.
I tried Maintenance option of the Setup and re-installed VS 2010, but still EF is unavailable, whereas it is being listed in Windows uninstall programs list. I even tried installing NuGet package, but still it is unavailable.
How to resolve this conflict?
Make sure you have set your Target framework to .net 3.5 SP1+.
Also, Install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, since I've seen people not being able to see the ADO.NET Entity Data Model because they have not installed VS2008 SP1.
I was reading a blog post the other day about code-first fluent mappings feature in entity framework ctp4. Just wonder what version of EF comes with Visual Studio 2010?
Entity Framework 4.0 has been shipped with .Net Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 and it does NOT contains the Code First development and Fluent API, to get those, you can download and install EF CTP4 from here.
