Ubuntu Installers
----------
2016-06-16 23:49:41 +00:00
*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.*

Interested in .NET Core + ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 bits?

This toolchain is independent from the DNX-based .NET Core + ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 bits. If you are looking for .NET Core + ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 bits, you can find instructions on the http://get.asp.net/.

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
2016-02-23 17:54:03 +00:00
This will drop a binary in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[rid]/[binary name]` that you can just run.

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.

2016-05-31 13:24:30 +00:00
Read over the [contributing guidelines ](CONTRIBUTING.md ) and [developer documentation ](Documentation ) for prerequisites for building from source.
