###Getting Started
The first thing we need to do is setup the tools required to build and run an application.
- If you already have
kvm
installed on the machine ignore the steps below. - Clone [Home] (https://github.com/aspnet/Home) repository
- On the command line, cd to Home repository and execute
kvm setup
- This command will download the latest version of the SDK and put it on your path so that you can run the rest of the commands in the readme. If you want to know more about what this is doing then you can read the KVM page of the wiki.
- On the command line execute
kvm install 0.1-alpha-build-0421
- This command will install Desktop flavor(x86) of KRE build 0421 in your user profile
- Clone BugTracker repository, if you have not already
- Open a command prompt and cd
\src\<AppFolder>\
- Run
kpm restore
to restore all the necessary packages and generate project files Note:kpm restore
currently works only on Desktop flavor. If you intend to use Core CLR, you should get Desktop flavor, executekpm restore
and then switch to Core CLR - [Helios]:
4.
Helios.cmd
to launch the app on IISExpress (Application started at URL http://localhost:5001/). - [SelfHost]:
5. Run
k web
(Application started at URL http://localhost:5002/) - [CustomHost]:
6. Run
k run
(This hosts the app in a console application - Application started at URL http://localhost:5003/)
By default the app runs on desktop CLR. To switch to run the app on CoreCLR follow the steps below
- On the command line, execute
kvm install 0.1-alpha-build-0421 -svrc50
- This command will install core clr flavor of KRE build 0421 and set runtime to core clr 0421 build.
- If you want to run on IIS/IISExpress against core clr, open k.ini and update KRE_FLAVOR to CORECLR and follow steps for running the application from 'Run the application' section
- If you want to run on SelfHost against core clr, follow steps for running the application from 'Run the application' section
- Edit the project.json to include the package you want to install.
- Do a
kpm restore
- This will restore the package in the project.
- Run
Clean.cmd
- This will clear all the packages and any temporary files generated - Continue the topic "Run the application"
- Application is started on different ports on different hosts. To change the port or URL modify
Helios.cmd
or project.json commands section in case of self-host and customhost.
