Instalacion del SDK

How to install the .NET SDK on your computer?

Installing the .NET SDK on your computer is a crucial step to start practicing and understanding in a practical way how this development environment works. Here we will show you how to do it step by step, so you can start your projects and experience all that .NET has to offer. Let's get started!

How to download the .NET SDK installer?

The easiest way to get started is to download the .NET SDK installer from its official site. Follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and go to Google.
2. Type "Download .NET" in the search bar.
3. Click on the first link that appears, usually the official .NET site.
4. The site should automatically detect the operating system you are using. In the case of Windows, it will be selected by default.
5. If you want to see more operating system options, click on "All .NET 6 Download". There you will find all the details of the available components.

How to choose the correct version?

Currently, the most recent version you can download is 6.0.0.0, a minor release of .NET 6.0.0. You must select the appropriate platform for your operating system. For example:

• Operating system: Windows
• Architecture: 64-bit

Once you have selected the correct version and operating system, you can download the installer. On Windows, the file will be an .exe.

What is the installation procedure?

After downloading the file, the installation process is quick and simple:

1. Run the downloaded installer.
2. Follow the installation wizard.
3. During the process, you will be asked to confirm and give permissions to the installer to run the installation correctly.
4. Once the installation is complete, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that all SDK components have been successfully installed.

How to verify that .NET is correctly installed?

To confirm that the installation has been successful, it can be verified through a Windows console:

1. Open the Windows console (Terminal or Command Prompt).
2. Type the dotnet command.

You should receive a message that gives you several options for interacting with the .NET command, which is part of the SDK's official command line interface.

If when you run the command you receive an error message indicating that the command is not recognized, it is likely that the installation has failed and you need to reinstall the SDK to correct the problem.

What text editors or IDEs can I use to work with .NET?

Once you have the SDK installed, the next step is to choose a suitable development environment. The most recommended IDEs for working with .NET include:

• Visual Studio: Ideal for developers who prefer integrated features and a graphical experience.
• Visual Studio Code: A lightweight and highly extensible editor, excellent for cross-platform projects and diverse programming languages.
• JetBrains Rider: A popular choice for JetBrains users looking for full integration with JetBrains tools and services.

Each of these environments has its own advantages and unique features that might better align with your development needs - experiment and find the one that suits you best!
