The ASP. NET 5 requires the installation and configuration of the operating environment of ASP. Execution Environment (DNX). DNVM can be easily installed with a tool called homebrew, which also installs the correct version of mono for OS X.

Installing homebrew

If you have not installed homebrew, you can complete the installation by following the command line script:

"$ (curl-fssl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install. NET Version Manager (DNVM)

After the homebrew is installed, run it in the console window.

Brew Tap Aspnet/dnx

To install the DNVM. If you need to upgrade the version of DNVM, run it first

Brew Untap Aspnet/dnx

To remove the old command, and then run

Brew Tap Aspnet/dnx

command to get the upgrade script back.

If you install an older version of homebrew, the "tap" configuration may get the following error:

Could not create link for ASPNET/DNX/KVM, as it conflicts with aspnet/ K/kvm

The solution is:
Run

Brew Uninstall KVM

Ensure that older versions of KVM are removed and run

Brew Untap aspnet/k

Remove the tap, last run

Brew Tap Aspnet/dnx

command to complete the installation successfully.

And then run

Brew Intstall DNVM

command to install. NET Version Manager. The command will also automatically install the latest DNX package from the Https://www.nuget.org/api/v2 seed.

Then run DNVM to confirm that the installation is correct. If not, run the source dnvm.sh command, and run DNVM again. You should see a message like this:

Install the latest version of DNX with DNVM, run:

DNVM Upgrade

Now that the DNX is installed, you can start using ASP. NET 5. Learn how to create a cross-platform console application or a simple ASP. NET MVC application and run under DNX.
