.Net Core is cross-platform .Net. It can run on:
• Windows
• Linux, and
• MacOS
I am running .Net Core 2.0 and its installation/configuration has improved since .Net Core 1.0. It comes with Visual Studio 2017. For other platforms the steps are straight forward and goes like this:
• Configure the OS (Linux/Mac) to know the package source for .Net Core
• Use the appropriate installation tool (apt-get for Linux) to request an install
• Use the .Net Core tooling to create and run projects
Here is the sequence I followed for Hello World
• dotnet new Console
○ This created a hello world console project for me with the below files
§ HelloWorld.csproj
§ Program.cs
• dotnet restore
○ This restores all the required packages to the Users home directory, and NOT along side the project
• dotnet build
○ Built the project
• dotnet run
○ Displayed Hello World on the console.
Unlike .Net standard, Console Application project do not create an executable file, in stead creates a DLL. When we execute dotnet run it loads the DLL and executes the code in it. Very similar to Java.
