Command line setup

dotnet new

dotnet restore

dotnet run

dotnet build

Install yo globally:

npm install yo -g

Install generator for aspnet:

npm install generator-aspnet -g

Generate something with the ASP.Net generator:

yo aspnet

(It will walk you through the steps) Select Web Application Select Bootstrap (3.3.6) Enter a name FunWithYo (bower install then runs automatically to install the required dependencies)

Output:

Your project is now created, you can use the following commands to get going
    cd "FunWithYo"
    dotnet restore
    dotnet build (optional, build will also happen when it's run)
    dotnet ef database update (to create the SQLite database for the project)
    dotnet run
    

You can then run dotnet restore within the FunWithYo directory. This will add all of the ASP.Net required libraries and NuGet packages for this newly generated project.

dotnet run starts listening on that project.

(Ctrl+C stops it)
