Basic usage
-----------
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 [main Core repo](https://github.com/dotnet/core/). You can download the sample in a directory, and then do you can kick the tires of the CLI.
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:
dotnet compile
This will drop a binary in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[binary name]` that you can just run.
Finally, you can also try out native compilation on Windows and Linux. **Note:** at this point, only the `helloworld` and `dotnetbot` samples will work with native compilation.
dotnet compile --native
This will drop a native single binary in `./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/native/[binary name]` that you can run.
