This project will be based on an ASP.NET MVC 4 application template. After opening Visual Studio, select File -> New Project and then select Web -> ASP.NET MVC 4 Application under the Visual C# project templates. Name the project “CouchbaseBeersWeb” and click “OK” to create the solution.

Figure 2.1. Figure 1, New Project.

Start with an “Empty” application using the Razor view engine for the MVC template.

Next you'll need to add a reference to the Couchbase .NET Client Library. You could either download the assemblies from the getting started pageor obtain them using the NuGet package manager. When you install via Nuget, your project will automatically get references to Couchbase.dll, Enyim.Caching.dll and the dependencies Newtonsoft.Json.dll and Hammock.dll. These assemblies are also found in the zip file and should be referenced in your project if not using Nuget.
