During Build 2015 Microsoft announced a bunch of new tools aimed at helping developers build cross platform applications. Amongst the announcements, they let us know that ASP.NET was now available and ready to run on Mac and Linux natively.
Up until this point there has been a few different ways to get .NET applications running on Unix systems but none of them were truly native or supported by Microsoft.
In November 2016, we introduced Visual Studio for Mac, the newest member of the Visual Studio family. Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin.

Today I will show you how to get started with setting up your .NET development environment on a Mac running Yosemite and show you how to build a Console and an ASP.NET MVC 6 call log application using Visual Studio Code and ASP.NET 5.
Feel free to download all the code from the Github repository if all you want to do is setup your local environment and not worry about writing all the application code.
Our tools
- A Mac computer running Yosemite or above
- Homebrew package manager
- Node.Js

To get started we need to make sure all the necessary tools are installed. If you are running on a Mac and still don’t have Homebrew installed you’re missing out, so download and install it from brew.sh.
Once homebrew is installed we can go ahead and download .NET Version Manager. This will install everything we need in order to run .NET as well as some useful tools we will talk about briefly.
When the installation completes the following will have been installed for you:
- DNVM (.NET Version Manager): is a set of command line instructions which allow you to configure your .NET Runtime. We can use it to specify which version of the .NET Execution Framework to use.
- DNX (.NET Execution Framework): is the runtime environment for creating .NET applications for Windows, Mac and Linux.
- DNU (.NET Development Utility): is a set of command line tools that allow us to build, package and publish projects created with DNX.
Make sure that all DNVM goodies are available on your terminal instance by running source dnvm.sh. For any future instances just run the following to permanently add it to your bash profile or equivalent according to your environment.
Let’s go ahead and check that DNVM is actually installed by running the following:
If you see a screen like the above you know you have DNVM properly installed, so let’s install the latest version of DNX.
