• Enter: source /home/parallels/.dnx/dnvm/dnvm.sh
• Run dnvm
• Enter: dnvm upgrade

3. Run console sample

• Create ConsoleApp folder
• Go to the aspnet repo: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/tree/dev/samples/latest/ConsoleApp
• Download: project.json, program.cs
• Restore packages: dnu restore
• Run the app: dnx . run

4. Run web sample

• Create WebApp folder
• Go to the aspnet repo: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/tree/dev/samples/latest/HelloWeb
• Download: project.json, startup.cs
• Restore packages: dnu restore

vscode-aspnet5-linux's Issues

with or without dnvm?

Hi, so ok dnvm is now "broken", the instructions fail at the point of installing it.
But it's still on github. Odd that they would leave it up there but hide the install script.

Would you be so kind as to fix this either with the archived dnvm or without dnvm?

I'm trying to get the most out of this without abandoning it entirely, using the instructions for Core, or the asp.net and Docker demo that you put together.

I found this:
https://github.com/natemcmaster/dnvm
is that an effective substitute install method for dnvm without using a container like Docker?

It's a shame to see good code broken, I'm sure this is a widespread problem.
Why did you need to use dnvm and can you accomplish the goal of this project without it?

thanks very much
