In order to build dotnet-cli, you need the following installed on you machine

For Windows

1. Visual Studio 2015 with Web Development Tools

  • Install WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi and DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi

2. CMake (available from https://cmake.org/) is required to build the native host corehost

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.

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
