.NET Command Line Interface

Building/Running

1. Run build.cmd or build.sh from the root
2. Use artifacts/{os}-{arch}/stage2/dotnet to try out the dotnet command. You can also add artifacts/{os}-{arch}/stage2 to the PATH if you want to run dotnet from anywhere.

Notes

Right now the CLI uses DNX for NuGet restore.

Visual Studio

• Requires VS 2015 with Web Development Tools installed to open in VS
  • Beta8 is available here and should work: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49442
    • Install WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi and DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi
• Requires that you have a DNX installed (the build script should set it up for you though)
• Compilation is not required before building, but you must run dnu restore (which comes from the DNX commands) after changing dependencies. If you add/remove dependencies in VS, it will run it for you

Visual Studio Code

• You can also use Visual Studo code https://code.visualstudio.com/

A simple test

Note: The explicit --framework and --runtime switches will definitely be going away :)

1. cd test\TestApp
2. dotnet publish --framework dnxcore50 --runtime win7-x64
