dotnet Command Examples

Cross platform .NET command-line tools for .NET Core. Some subcommands such as build have their own usage documentation. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools.

• Initialize a new .NET project:

dotnet new {{template_short_name}}

• Restore NuGet packages:

dotnet restore

• Build and execute the .NET project in the current directory:

• Run a packaged dotnet application (only needs the runtime, the rest of the commands require the .NET Core SDK installed):

dotnet {{path/to/application.dll}}
