Here are the steps to use ASP.NET MVC 5 in Visual Studio 2012:

• Start your ASP.NET MVC 4 project.
• Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi -pre
• Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Pre
• Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR -Pre

These two will update:

• Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.0.0-rc1
• Microsoft.AspNet.Razor
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi 5.0.0-rc1
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client 5.0.0-rc1
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core 5.0.0-rc1
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost 5.0.0-rc1
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages 3.0.0-rc1
• and some other goodies
