OData Client Code Generator for VS 2015

I had been using OData Client Code Generator for VS 2015 to generate client for my OData service.
See https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/odatateam/2014/03/11/tutorial-sample-how-to-use-odata-client-code-generator-to-generate-client-side-proxy-class/

The extension used to be deployed in my VS 2015 but recently it disappeared.
When I tried to search for it in Extension and Updates, it would show a newer version of OData Client Code Generator which won't work for VS 2015.

After looking around, I found the older version here https://github.com/OData/lab/blob/Tools/Tools/ODataT4ItemTemplate.2.4.0.vsix
You can download and install it from here and restart VS 2015.

After that, you should be able to generate the OData client as usual in VS 2015.
