Known issues & workarounds
==========================

## El Capitan support
If you try to use the `dotnet` commands on El Capitan (OS X 10.11), you will encounter errors as it is not currently 
fully supported for all scenarios.  

**Issues tracking this:** 

* [#498](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/498)
* [#291](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/291)

**Affects:** most of the commands, but more than likely you will not be able to 
use `dotnet compile` and `dotnet-run` on El Capitan. For others, there is a 
workaround.

**Workaround:** use the --runtime switch with the value of `osx.10.11-x64` in 
`dotnet restore` and `dotnet publish` and you will be able to run your app from 
the published directory. 

## Resolving the Standard library packages
The StdLib package is on a MyGet feed. In order to restore it, a MyGet feed needs to be added 
to the NuGet feeds, either locally per application or in a central location. 

**Issues tracking this:** 

* [#535](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/535)

**Affects:** `dotnet restore`

**Workaround:** update to the latest bits and run `dotnet new` in an empty directory. This will 
now drop a `nuget.config` file that you can use in other applications. 

If you cannot update, you can use the following `nuget.config`:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <!--To inherit the global NuGet package sources remove the <clear/> line below -->
    <clear />
    <add key="dotnet-core" value="https://www.myget.org/F/dotnet-core/api/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="api.nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>
```

## Uninstalling/reinstalling the PKG on OS X
OS X doesn't really have an uninstall capacity for PKGs like Windows has for 
MSIs. There is, however, a way to remove the bits as well as the "recipe" for 
dotnet. More information can be found on [this SuperUser question](http://superuser.com/questions/36567/how-do-i-uninstall-any-apple-pkg-package-file).

# What is a "known issue"?
A "known issue" is a major issue that block users in doing their everyday tasks and that affect all or
