+# Setting Up Oqtane.Maui for Development with Visual Studio
+
+## Introduction
+
+Oqtane.Maui is a hybrid .NET MAUI application that integrates with the Oqtane framework, allowing developers to create cross-platform applications with ease. This guide provides a step-by-step process to set up Oqtane.Maui for development using Visual Studio and .NET 8, specifically for Oqtane version 5.1.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Visual Studio installed and updated on your machine.
+- Latest .NET 8 SDK installed.
+- A [database server](databases.md) installed on your machine or accessible from your network. You can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server.
+
+## Step-by-Step Setup Guide
+
+### 1. Install Oqtane
+
+1. Follow the official Oqtane getting started guide [here](index.md).
+2. Ensure you have the required dependencies installed.
+
+### 2. Configure Oqtane for Hybrid .NET MAUI
+
+1. Open the Oqtane Admin Dashboard.
+
+![Oqtane Control Panel Admin Dashboard](./assets/control-panel-admin-dashboard.png)
+
+2. Navigate to **Site Settings**
+
+![Oqtane Site Settings](./assets/admin-dashboard-site-settings.png)
+
+3. Navigate to **UI Component Settings**
+4. Set the option for **Hybrid?** to **Yes**.
+
+![Oqtane Site Settings](./assets/site-settings-ui-component-settings-hybrid-enabled.png)
+
+### 3. Edit the `MauiConstants.cs` File (Option #1)
+
+1. Open your Oqtane.Maui project in Visual Studio. ![Oqtane.Maui Project Solution](maui-solution.png)
+2. Locate the `MauiConstants.cs` file in your project directory. ![Oqtane.Maui Set MauiConstants.cs Url](maui-solution.png)
+3. Modify the file to point to your Oqtane web application:
+
+```csharp
+namespace Oqtane.Maui;
+
+public static class MauiConstants
+{
+    // the API service url (used as fallback if not set in appsettings.json)
+    public static string ApiUrl = ""; 
+    // public static string ApiUrl = "http://localhost:44357/"; // for local development (Oqtane.Server must be already running for MAUI client to connect)
+    //public static string apiurl = "http://localhost:44357/sitename/"; // local microsite example
+    //public static string apiurl = "https://www.dnfprojects.com/"; // for testing remote site
+
+    // specify if you wish to allow users to override the url via appsettings.json in the AppDataDirectory
+    public static bool UseAppSettings = true;
+}
+
+```
+
+For local development you may set this as shown in the image below by commenting/uncommenting lines.
+
+![Maui Constants](./assets/maui-set-local-development-url.png)
+
+### 4. Modify `appsettings.json` (Option #2 Preferred)
+
+The preferred way to configure the URL is through the `appsettings.json` file. Note that the Oqtane.Maui app supports an `appsettings.json` file located in the `FileSystem.Current.AppDataDirectory`. The first time you run the Oqtane.Maui app, it will look in that location for the `appsettings.json` file, and if it does not exist, it will create one and display a message in the UI:
+
+![AppSettings Message](./assets/maui-set-url.png)
+
+This option allows you to modify the `appsettings.json` without having to change the `MauiConstants.cs` file and recompile the app (although that approach works as well).
+
+### 5. Build and Deploy the Application
+
+1. Open the Oqtane.Maui project in Visual Studio.
+2. Build the application:
+   - Go to **Build** > **Build Solution** or press `Ctrl + Shift + B`.
+
+3. Run/launch the application:
+   - Set the Oqtane.Maui project as the startup project.
+   - Press `F5` to start debugging or `Ctrl + F5` to run without debugging.
+   - Alternatively, you can run the application by clicking on **Windows Machine** within Visual Studio.
+
+  ![Oqtane.Maui Run Windows Machine](./assets/maui-run-windows-machine.png)
+  
+   - If you prefer, you can also find the application deployed on your Windows machine and run it from your desktop.
+
+## Additional Tips and Troubleshooting
+
+- Ensure all dependencies are correctly installed.
+- Oqtane Framework must be running on a seperate instance of Visual Studio or a web server.
+- For additional user functionality like file uploads you may need to create a user token.
+  This can be accomplished by navigating to Admin Dashboard > User Management > **Token Settings** and setting the **Secret:* option.
+  ![Oqtane.Maui Run Windows Machine](./assets/user-management-token-settings.png)
+- For further assistance, refer to the Oqtane community discussion forums.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By following these steps, you should have a fully functional Oqtane.Maui setup for development with Visual Studio. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improving this guide, please contribute to the documentation.
