xunit extensions don't exist for vs 2017

The xunit test extensions don't show up as available for visual studio community 2017. Do you have any alternative options that would work?

I answered my own question. Go into nuget packet manager and select manage nuget packages for solution. Select the browse tag and search for xunit. xunit should show up as a package you can install. As of this post the current version is 2.2.0 and has 6.5 million downloads. Select it and install it in the project.

So, which one should I choose? There's xunit.runner.console, xunit.analyzer, xunit.core...

I'm using VS2019 and I downloaded the extension from here - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BradWilson.xUnitnetTestExtensions - first download and then open it with Visual Studio to install.

I just tried installing the extension from the link above into VS2019 and got a message that it is no longer compatible with VS2019 and may cause it to be unstable.
