.NET Command Line Interface

Building/Running

1. Run build.cmd or build.sh from the root
2. Use scripts/dotnet to try out the dotnet command.

Notes

Right now the CLI uses DNX as an application host. Eventually it will become self-hosted, but for now that means a few things:

• Requires VS 2015 with Web Development Tools installed to open in VS
  • Beta7 is available here and should work: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48738&fa43d42b-25b5-4a42-fe9b-1634f450f5ee=True
    • Install WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi and DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi
  • There are also more recent builds available here: \\vwdbuild01\Drops\WTE\Release.Nightly\Dev14\Latest-Successful\Release\Signed\MSI (run InstallWTE.cmd)
• 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

A simple test (windows only for now)

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

1. cd test\TestApp
2. ..\..\scripts\dotnet run --framework dnxcore50 --runtime win7-x86
