A side project requires Asp.Net. I don’t want to go back to DotNet, though it’s a good platform, but I don’t touch Windows for 4 years, I don’t use it for 8 years. Now I cannot image work with Windows, not Mac. As an engineer, we should keep curiosity for everything, right? The more important is Windows changes a lot in recent year, more open. That’s why DotNet can work on Mac. Now let’s setup everything on Mac.

I just noticed this blog was not finished yet because I’m too lazy. I didn’t spend much time on the dotnet work because the owner thought it was too expensive to maintain that website. I try to find the old website but it seems the domain is changed and the old website is gone for some time. It’s not easy to survive for a startup, no matter how awesome your slogan if you could not provide useful service. AI, Web3, Crypt currency/token, … may help you to get the fund, but it’s just the beginning. If you don’t have any plan or insight for the future, just work for a big company to climb the career ladder. Different living style, not big difference.
Your First ASP.NET app on Mac
Just follow this article to setup. Here I just mentioned some pitfall you should notice during the whole setup. So you just need to check below points when you cannot continue based on the original article.
cannot find command 'dotnet'. After you install dotnet sdk, you have to launch a new terminal to test the commanddotnet -v, because it seems the path environment only works in new terminal, not old terminal before you install.
