The simplest way to experience ASP. NET 5 on your Mac without writing 1 lines of code

The curiosity of ASP. NET 5 was sparked by Microsoft's release of ASP. NET 5 Beta2 (see ASP. 5 BETA2 release) yesterday.

This afternoon on Mac OS X, I experienced an ASP. NET 5 Beta2, and with Yeoman generators for ASP. 5, you can not write 1 lines of code, even Project.json do not write. There is a feeling of a Mac under Visual Studio.

Here's a look at the actual procedure:

1. Install the Package Manager for OS X: Homebrew

2. Add the ASP. NET 5 code base on GitHub to brew: Brew tap aspnet/k

3. KVM Install ASP. 5: Brew Install KVM (mono is installed at this point)

4. Add the KVM command to Terminal: source kvm.sh (otherwise "-bash:kvm:command not Found" error when running the KVM command)

6. Install the node. JS Environment: node. JS (in order to install Yeoman generators for ASP. 5)

7. Install yeoman generators for ASP. 5: sudo npm install-g yo generator-aspnet

8. Run yeoman generators for ASP. NET 5 to create an ASP. NET 5 project:

A) Run command yo ASPNET

b) Select Web Application

c) in ? What ' s the name of your ASP. Application? (WebApplication) When you enter the project name, such as HelloAspNet5

d) Then yeoman generators will automatically create the files required for the ASP. NET 5 project:

e) The directory structure in the HelloAspNet5 folder is as follows:

9. Install the package required to run the ASP. NET 5 project: KPM Restore

10. Run ASP. NET 5 project: K Kestrel

11. Browser access to the site (URL in the Project.json file kestrel the Server.urls section):
