== MonoDevelop ==

MonoDevelop is the IDE for the Xamarin Mono project. It was initially created as a fork of #develop.

It has its own site at http://www.monodevelop.com/

We have an add-in to provide Cobra support including syntax highlighting, compilation and interactive debugging:
 * https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding

In February 2013, Xamarin announced a rebranded version of MonoDevelop named Xamarin Studio for Windows and Mac.  The same Cobra addin for MonoDevelop will work in Xamarin Studio.

== Windows Users ==

If you are running 64-bit Windows, you'll need to install Cobra targeting the x86 platform.  See the addin installation instructions for details.

== Mac Users ==

Support for installation of the addin on Mac was recently broken.  Please help contribute by fixing the installer to work on Mac with Xamarin Studio.  See here https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/issues/29 and here https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/blob/master/install.cobra#L268

== Ubuntu Users ==

There are no packages for MonoDevelop 4.0 at this time.  You'll need to build from source.  If you are not comfortable building from source, you can use a previous version of the addin that supports your version of MonoDevelop.  No bug fixes will be made for these old branches though.

  * MonoDevelop 3.0: https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/tarball/3.0
  * MonoDevelop 2.8: https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding/tarball/2.8

If you're on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and using MonoDevelop 2.8, you can update to MonoDevelop 3.0 via this PPA if you choose to do so:
 * PPA: https://launchpad.net/~keks9n/+archive/monodevelop-latest
{{{
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install monodevelop
}}}
