title: How do I install the web development workload into VS Professional?
body: <p>I am following <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/first-web-api" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions to create a web service</a> which mentions that I need the <strong>ASP.NET and web development workload</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I found mention of that <a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-workloads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>  but not how to install it.</p>
  
  <p>I found the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-professional" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Visual Studio Professional 2017 component directory</a> but it does not mention the <strong>ASP.NET and web development workload</strong></p>
