Preview 4 release - MSBuild based tools
---------------------------------------
As was outlined in the ["Changes to project.json" blog post ](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/05/23/changes-to-project-json/ ), we have started work to move away from project.json to csproj and MSBuild. All the new `latest` releases from this repo (from `rel/1.0.0` branch) are MSBuild-enabled tools.
2016-06-02 14:20:23 +00:00
2016-12-20 19:36:08 +00:00
The current official release of the csproj-enabled CLI tools is **CLI Preview 4** .
2016-02-19 23:59:14 +00:00
2016-12-20 19:36:08 +00:00
There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
2016-07-23 17:38:31 +00:00
2016-12-20 19:36:08 +00:00
* Preview 4 CLI bits are still **in development** so some rough edges are to be expected.
2017-01-26 13:09:07 +00:00
* Preview 4 bits **do not support** project.json so you will have to either keep Preview 2 tools around or migrate your project or add a global.json file to your project to target preview2. You can find more information on this using the [project.json to csproj instructions ](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/rel/1.0.0/Documentation/ProjectJsonToCSProj.md ).
2016-12-20 19:36:08 +00:00
* Preview 4 refers to the **CLI tools only** and does not cover Visual Studio, VS Code or Visual Studio for Mac.
* We welcome any and all issues that relate to MSBuild-based tools, so feel free to try them out and leave comments and file any bugs/problems.

*Our Debian packages are put together slightly differently than the other OS specific installers. Instead of combining everything, we have separate component packages that depend on each other. If you're installing these directly from the .deb files (via dpkg or similar), then you'll need to install them in the order presented below.*

Docker

2015-10-19 08:47:45 +00:00
2015-11-18 07:19:39 +00:00
You can also use our Docker base images found on https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/dotnet to set up your dev or testing environment for usage.
Basic usage
-----------
2015-12-31 17:38:04 +00:00
When you have the .NET Command Line Interface installed on your OS of choice, you can try it out using some of the samples on the [dotnet/core repo ](https://github.com/dotnet/core/tree/master/samples ). You can download the sample in a directory, and then you can kick the tires of the CLI.
2015-11-18 15:19:05 +00:00
2015-11-18 07:19:39 +00:00
First, you will need to restore the packages:
dotnet restore
This will restore all of the packages that are specified in the project.json file of the given sample.
Then you can either run from source or compile the sample. Running from source is straightforward:
dotnet run
Compiling to IL is done using:
2015-12-29 21:37:12 +00:00
dotnet build
2015-11-25 18:16:57 +00:00
2016-06-02 14:20:23 +00:00
This will drop an IL assembly in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[binary name]`
that you can run using `dotnet bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[binaryname.dll]` .

Building from source
--------------------
2016-03-18 04:27:33 +00:00
If you are building from source, take note that the build depends on NuGet packages hosted on MyGet, so if it is down, the build may fail. If that happens, you can always see the [MyGet status page ](http://status.myget.org/ ) for more info.

2016-06-07 16:42:05 +00:00
Read over the [contributing guidelines ](CONTRIBUTING.md ) and [developer documentation ](Documentation ) for prerequisites for building from source.
