In this lesson we discuss about How to Install .Net Core. Please read my previous article of ASP.NET Core Overview. Please follow all the steps of ASP.Net Core tutorial in this link.
.NET Core can be installed in two ways: By installing Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022 or by installing .NET Core Runtime or SDK.
.NET Core installer already contains ASP.NET Core libraries, so there is no separate installer for ASP.NET Core.

As you can see below, .NET Core Runtime and .NET Core SDK are different things. .NET Core Runtime is only used to run .NET Core application, whereas .NET Core SDK includes tools and libraries to develop .NET Core applications. To set up a development environment, we need to install .NET Core SDK for the platform we use for development such as Windows, Linux, or Mac. Here we will install .NET Core SDK because we are preparing a development environment for building .NET Core applications. If you are aiming to run .NET Core application, then install .NET Core Runtime on your server or cloud or client desktop.
Click on the Download .NET Core SDK button to download the latest version of .NET Core SDK installer and install the SDK to following onscreen wizard. After installation, you can now develop .NET Core/ASP.NET Core applications.
