Installing .NET 7 SDK

“

- [Instructor] If you haven't already downloaded Visual Studio for the Mac, go to Microsoft's website for Visual Studio, click the download button and wait for the installer file to download. Once downloaded, locate the installer and double click on it to launch it. Then file the instructions provided by the installer to complete the installation process. Using Visual Studio is perhaps the easiest way to get .NET 7 set up since it's a complete IDE and development environment. Once you have Visual Studio installed, or if you already had it installed, make sure to check that you have the correct version of the .NET SDK. In Visual Studio for the Mac we can do this by going into the preference menu, scroll down to the SDK Locations, .NET Core, and here you'll see we have two versions of .NET installed, 7.0 and 6.0. For this course we're going to use 7.0. If you're familiar with the command line or you want to use Visual Studio Code, installing the .NET CLI is probably your best option. At this point, you should have everything ready for us to create our first project.
