I am trying to use Intel Fortran on Visual Studios 2015.

Things I tried:

1. https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-with-fortran-compiler-17.0-for-windows-parallel-studio-xe-2017

It says: "In the New Project window, select a project type under Intel(R) Visual Fortran." I have the prerequisite VS 2015 Community.

2.https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-c-fortran-compilers-for-windows-integration-into-microsoft-visual-studio-2015

Says to enable: Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015 I enabled this on VS.

3."How to install Intel Fortran Compiler for Ms Visual Studio Community 2017?" on this site says to install Intel Parallel Studio. After doing this, it seems completely unrelated.

After all this, there still is no option under New Projects in VS: Intel(R) Visual Fortran. How can I create an intel fortran project?

After various attempts including installing the 2017 edition and other online searching, I realize why the instructions on these sites were invalid.

Free student editions of Visual Studios do not include Intel Fortran.
To compile fortran, apparently it is either necessary to use a free compiler not with Visual Studios (MinGW, etc), or pay for a non-student version.
