All dependency packages, style sheets and scripts are already added to the project created using C1 ASP.NET MVC Web Application template. There is no need to explicitly add the packages to the project. But, you need to manually add the packages into your MVC project which is created using Visual Studio templates, in order to use these controls.
By default, ControlPanel downloads the latest version of an edition. Note that you can select older versions by clicking on the Change/Repair Version button.
