Creating your first ASP.NET Core 2.0 application in Linux

To create and run your first sample application using only the Terminal window in Linux, you have to do the following steps:

1. If the .NET Core 2.0 SDK is not yet installed, then download and install .NET Core Preview 2 from https://www.microsoft.com/net/core/preview for your Linux distribution. Here is an example of how to do that for Ubuntu:

      sudosh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64]
       https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/
        xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
      sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
       --recv-keys 417A0893
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.0.0-preview2-006497

1. Create a folder for your sample application,
   mkdir ~/Documents/aspnetcoremvcsample.
2. Move into the created folder, cd ~/Documents/aspnetcoremvcsample.
3. Create a new web application based on the ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC web application template, dotnet new mvc:

1. Run the sample application by executing dotnet run:

1. Open a browser and go to http://localhost:5000:
