Getting started with AWS sdk in C#

I'm trying to start using AWS with Visual Studio 2015. Since the suggested way to use the SDK is to install packages with NUget, I guess that way I will loose the AWS projects templates. I don't know if there is some reason I really need these templates, or if Nuget packages are enougth. Reason I don't install the MSI: it seems to break my Visual Studio ( after trying to install I need to repair de setup )
