How can I install the templates and the the framework for XNA in Visual Studio 2015?

I found this page here that helps installing the XNA framework in Visual Studio 2013, but they do not offer any downloads for Visual Studio 2015.

I know that XNA is not developed anymore by Microsoft, but it is a really great Framework that I need to use in Future.
