Outlook add-in with VS 2013 Community Edition

Question

I have VS 2013 Community Edition and I want to develop Outlook add-in.

In the "New Project" window, I don't see anything about Outlook or Office add-in (in Installed or Online Templates).

Where can I found the missing Templates (maybe in vsix format) ?

You can install the Visual Studio Tools for Office 2013. That will include the templates too. VSTO is compatible with the Community Edition, since that is basically just the Profession Edition with some additional licensing.

From the Visual Studio site:

Q: How does Visual Studio Community 2013 compare to other Visual Studio editions? A: Visual Studio Community 2013 includes all the great functionality of Visual Studio Professional 2013, designed and optimized for individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small teams.
