Installing project.json compatible .net-core sdk on ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to install .NET Core on Ubuntu. I'd like a version that supports project.json (as I'm still using that).

In particular, this: sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.1

That seems to give me a version that doesn't support project.json.

Is there an apt-get installable version of dotnet-dev that supports project.json?

Thanks! Ranj

project.json is dead; I'm not sure you'll be able to find support for it any more. — Gigi

Try changing your install command to:

sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-1-003177

The downloads are versioned based on the SDK. The SDK that supported project.json is verioned as preview. The 1.0.1 SDK supports csproj only.
