It’s my first time using Visual Studio on Mac so I’ve never installed any of the Tools packages from the Asset Store.
I’ve installed Visual Studio Community 2017 for Mac version 7.0.1.
On this page however there is no download for an installer for the Visual Studio Tools for Unity for 2017. The most recent is for 2015.
There is a note:
But I don’t even understand this. What’s the Unity workload? The installer I used had no reference to Unity tools.
Can anyone help?

Select Visual Studio application from the Unity Preferences, and it will “mostly work”.
But there is no option to select VS without browsing. As I understand it the VSTU should add the option to the list and also there should be something in the About Unity dialog stating that VSTU is installed. I don’t have that.
I found this on stackoverflow. It talks about installing from command line on Windows in order to see this screen:
So this explains what the Unity Workload is but I now need to figure out how to see this screen when installing on a Mac.
And I found this under the Extensions menu and enabled it but it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
