Since my last post the name has been changed to ASP.NET Core 1.0.

Starting over to use the latest & greatest I uninstalled the previous packages in Ubuntu

I then Installed the Debian package from

https://github.com/dotnet/cli

I downloaded the latest samples from David Fowler

https://github.com/aspnet/cli-samples

Currently the HelloWeb code isn’t restoring for me (Unable to restore Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel), I assume this is because of as this moment the Ubuntu code isn’t building according to the CLI page above.

Instead, if I use my previous simple console app from here, and change the project.json to

{
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "compilationOptions": {
        "emitEntryPoint": true
    },
 
    "dependencies": {
        "NETStandard.Library": "1.0.0-*"
    },
 
    "frameworks": {
        "dnxcore50": { }
    }
}

And then change to the project directory and restore using the latest bits

dotnet restore -s https://myget.org/f/dotnet-core

It will build and run.
