Problem with installation

[thecpshah]

Hello!

I installed .NET Core 2.1 from the link https://www.microsoft.com/net/download

Then I cloned the repo.

After that, I tried to run command dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.Probabilistic and I get the error Could not find any project in C:\Users\chintan.b.shah\Desktop\infer`.`

Can you please help with installation?

Many thanks.

There is no reason to run that command on the repo. The dotnet add package command simply provides a convenient option to add a package reference to a project file.

I think I see the confusion. You are following the README instructions for 'Install'. Installation does not require cloning the repo. To compile the code in the repo, you should follow the instructions under 'Build'.

Thank you for quick reply.

So I load Infer.sln in Microsoft Visual Studio and I get the following error

Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: The operation failed as details for project TestApp could not be loaded. Restoring NuGet packages...

I then build the solution, which builds without any error.

A (stupid) question is now what?

[tminka]

Run the tutorials by setting the startup project to Tutorials. Run an example by setting the startup project to that example.

This is not clear to me. Please see the screenshot. I run Tutorial, it builds, another window opens which says it is completed and closes.

Unfortunately, that is how Visual Studio runs console applications with debugging. If you want the window to stay open, select Debug -> Start without debugging. Thanks to your feedback, I have edited the README file to make these steps more clear. Let us know if any of the steps there need to be further clarified.

Thank you. It works now. I changed the configuration to ReleaseFull instead of Release, re-opened the solution and it worked.
