How to Install Hot towel SPA on Visual 2013, I cannot see the template in the web section

EDIT: I forgot to say that on my machine there was VS2012 installed either, sorry.

I tried with VS2013 but it did't work for me, may be I am missing something.

Creating a new project I've chosen Visual C# -> Web than a Web Application and I cannot see the Jhon Papa's hot towel template within it

I have installed, I guess correctly the file HotTowelSpa.2013.vsix but I still cannot see the template at all.

I even tried to install the package with an SPA web app opened, with the following steps 

Tools -> Lybrary package Manager -> Package Manager Consol

and I wrote this string 

PM> Install-Package HotTowel.

It seems that every was installed but when I try to run the project it doesn't show the Papa's Home template. Where I am wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help
