Getting Started with ASP.NET Core

1 min to read Contributors

  1. Install .NET Core

  2. Create a new .NET Core project:

    mkdir aspnetcoreapp
cd aspnetcoreapp
dotnet new web

    Notes:

    • On macOS and Linux, open a terminal window. On Windows, open a command prompt.
    • Previous versions of .NET Core required a t parameter, that is dotnet new -t web. If you get an error running dotnet new web, install the latest .NET Core. dotnet (with no parameters) will display the .NET Core version.

  3. Restore the packages:

    dotnet restore

  4. Run the app (the dotnet run command will build the app when it's out of date):

    dotnet run

  5. Browse to http://localhost:5000
