Getting started

Getting the correct tools

Make sure .NET 8.0 SDK is installed (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0) (Vidyano v6 can also be used with .NET 9.0 but the project template uses .NET 8.0 by default)

Install the Vidyano dotnet new templates

dotnet new install Vidyano.Templates::1.0.20241119.5814

Trust the development certificate (needs to be done once on a development machine)

dotnet dev-certs https --trust

You only need to do this once.

Create your first Vidyano application

mkdir VidyanoSample
cd VidyanoSample
dotnet new vidyano

The latest version currently is 6.0.20250305.5880 (you can check the .csproj file for the version you are referencing), in most cases you can immediately update your NuGet packages even before running the application.
