I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 on my Mac recently, hoping to use it to program in C++. Manga studio for mac. It appeared to install correctly, no errors occurred, but it seems to be missing support for C++. It will only allow me to make projects using C# and F#; I don't see C++ anywhere.
Searching around, many people suggest opening up the Visual Studio Installer and add 'C++ Tools' to VS. However, when I open up the visual studio installer, I only see the necessary packages to develop in Android, IOS, .NET, MacOS, and Xamarin.

Where is C++? Do I need to configure visual studio some other way to be able to use it for C++?

As @Saad stated, there is no support for C++ on Visual Studio 2017 for macOS.
If you want to program in C++ in macOS, you can go with Xcode.

Unfortunately, Server Explorer is not (yet) available for the Visual Studio for the Mac. Microsoft has not yet clarified whether Visual Studio for the Mac will always be different than the traditional VS, but so far that is the case.
Until Microsoft clarifies, we have to think of Visual Studio for the Mac as 'partially compatible' with Visual Studio. Though not quite the same, it's similar to how Visual Studio Code is kept separate, though it keeps the valuable 'Visual Studio' name.
