The next step is to try and run a web app.

There are samples under David Fowler’s (ASP.NET team member) github repository.

https://github.com/davidfowl/dotnetcli-aspnet5

I downloaded the .zip file, copied it to the Code folder from my previous post and extracted it.

I then switched to the HelloWeb sample folder in terminal

cd ~/Documents/Code/dotnetcli-aspnet5-master/HelloWeb

dotnet restore

(downloads 121 packages)

dotnet run

We get the following error

So libuv needs to be installed as it is not present

install libuv per instructions

sudo apt-get install make automake libtool curl
curl -sSL https://github.com/libuv/libuv/archive/v1.4.2.tar.gz | sudo tar zxfv - -C /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src/libuv-1.4.2
sudo sh autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/src/libuv-1.4.2 && cd ~/
sudo ldconfig

Now we try again and success!

Note that there looks like is a newer streamlined process for installing on Ubuntu here, but that doesn’t work for me, I reported it.
