During learning to make my first Windows 8 app, I came across a feature called flyout that I have to add on my app. But to use this feature on my app, I need to install a toolkit called "Callisto".
Now what Callisto really is, and what sort of features will Callisto add to your app. Follow these two links to know more about it:

So I started to install Callisto for my app as it was directed to follow the steps for successful installation of Callisto.
The steps are shown below:
1. Right click References on the solution explorer of your project.
2. Select Manage NuGet Packages and a new window will open. Select Online on the left hand-side and type callisto on the top right corner of the window.
3. Click Install button for the callisto to install for your app.
(These steps will work for the Windows 8.1 user now).
But I got an error...
After much querying about this problem, I came to know that this error occurs because of the new version released for Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 13 users. So these steps will not work for Windows 8 users. So what will I do now, should I update my OS to 8.1 and download VS13? I started querying for the alternate and I got success to install Callisto for my Windows 8 App with VS2012.
Just follow these steps if you also goes through these problems:
1. Open Package Manager Console from the menu bar View>Other Windows>Package Manager Console.
2. A Package Manager Console will open at the bottom. Type Install-Package Callisto 1.3.1(Callisito 1.3.1 is Windows 8 compatible) and press Enter.(See the pic below if any problem with the command)
You will get success with these steps....
