This toolchain is independent from the DNX-based .NET Core + ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 bits. If you are looking for .NET Core + ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 bits, you can find instructions on the http://get.asp.net/.
You can also use our Docker base images found on https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/dotnet to set up your dev or testing environment for usage.
When you have the .NET Command Line Interface installed on your OS of choice, you can try it out using some of the samples on the dotnet/core repo. You can download the sample in a directory, and then you can kick the tires of the CLI.
First, you will need to restore the packages:
dotnet restore
This will restore all of the packages that are specified in the project.json file of the given sample.
Then you can either run from source or compile the sample. Running from source is straightforward:
dotnet run
Compiling to IL is done using:
dotnet build
This will drop a binary in ./bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[rid]/[binary name] that you can just run.
For more details, please refer to the documentation.
If you are building from source, take note that the build depends on NuGet packages hosted on Myget, so if it is down, the build may fail. If that happens, you can always see the Myget status page for more info.
Read over the contributing guidelines and developer documentation for prerequisites for building from source.
