Aspire Install

[Eliz Mettert]

NET Aspire includes tooling to help you create and configure cloud-native apps. The tooling includes useful starter project templates and other features to streamline getting started with .NET Aspire for Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and CLI workflows. In the sections ahead, you'll learn how to work with .NET Aspire tooling and explore the following tasks:

The .NET Aspire workload installs internal dependencies and makes available other tooling, such as project templates and Visual Studio features. There are two ways to install the .NET Aspire workload. If you prefer to use Visual Studio Code, follow the .NET CLI instructions:

.NET Aspire projects are designed to run in containers. You can use either Docker Desktop or Podman as your container runtime. Docker Desktop is the most common container runtime. Podman is an open-source daemonless alternative to Docker, that can build and run Open Container Initiative (OCI) containers. If your host environment has both Docker and Podman installed, .NET Aspire defaults to using Docker. You can instruct .NET Aspire to use Podman instead, by setting the DOTNET_ASPIRE_CONTAINER_RUNTIME environment variable to podman:

The .NET Aspire workload makes available .NET Aspire project templates. These project templates allow you to create new apps pre-configured with the .NET Aspire project structure and default settings. These projects also provide a unified debugging experience across the different resources of your app.

AspireSample.ServiceDefaults: A .NET Aspire shared project to manage configurations that are reused across the projects in your solution related to resilience, service discovery, and telemetry.

AspireSample.ApiService: An ASP.NET Core Minimal API project is used to provide data to the frontend. This project depends on the shared AspireSample.ServiceDefaults project.

AspireSample.Web: An ASP.NET Core Blazor App project with default .NET Aspire service configurations, this project depends on the AspireSample.ServiceDefaults project.

AspireSample.Test: Either an MSTest, NUnit, or xUnit test project with project references to the AspireSample.AppHost and an example WebTests.cs file demonstrating an integration test.

.NET Aspire Test projects: These project templates are used to create test projects for your .NET Aspire app, and they're intended to represent functional and integration tests. The test projects include the following templates:

.NET Aspire Service Defaults: A standalone .ServiceDefaults project that can be used to manage configurations that are reused across the projects in your solution related to resilience, service discovery, and telemetry.

The service defaults project template takes a FrameworkReference dependency on Microsoft.AspNetCore.App. This may not be ideal for some project types. For more information, see .NET Aspire service defaults.

The .NET 9.0 SDK causes issues with the .NET Aspire workloads ability to display templates, and create projects from the templates. If you're using .NET 9.0, know that your ability to create new .NET Aspire apps is currently limited. For more information, see .NET Aspire preview-3 cannot create app when .NET 9 is installed and .NET Aspire preview-3 installed with Visual Studio 17.10 doesn't show templates.

.NET Aspire templates that expose the app host project also include a useful dashboard that can be used to monitor and inspect various aspects of your app, such as logs, traces, and environment configurations. This dashboard is designed to improve the local development experience and provides an overview of the overall state and structure of your app.

The .NET Aspire dashboard is only visible while the app is running and starts automatically when you start the .AppHost project. Visual Studio launches both your app and the .NET Aspire dashboard for you automatically in your browser. If you start the app using the .NET CLI, copy and paste the dashboard URL from the output into your browser, or hold Ctrl and select the link (if your terminal supports hyperlinks).

Visual Studio provides additional features for working with .NET Aspire components and the App Host orchestrator project. Not all of these features are currently available in Visual Studio Code or through the CLI.

.NET Aspire hosting packages are used to configure various resources and dependencies an app may depend on or consume. Hosting packages are differentiated from other component packages in that they are added to the .AppHost project. To add a hosting package to your app, follow these steps:

Visual Studio provides the option to Enlist in Aspire orchestration during the new project workflow. Select this option to have Visual Studio create .AppHost and .ServiceDefault projects alongside your selected project template.

When you're using Visual Studio, and you select the .NET Aspire Start Application template, you have the option to include a test project. This test project is an xUnit project that includes a sample test that you can use as a starting point for your tests.

You can use Visual Studio Code, in conjunction with the C# Dev Kit extension, to create and develop .NET Aspire projects. To create a new .NET Aspire project in Visual Studio Code, select the Create .NET Project button in the Explorer view, then select one of the .NET Aspire templates:

I bought this computer and wanted to install Ubuntu on it. The problem is that I have been unsuccessful for more than 3 weeks.The computer comes with UEFI of very limited capabilities. It cannot be switched to legacy and there is no option select an UEFI file as trusted for execution. The only thing which can be done is to enable/disable secure boot.

Now about the problem. I tried to install Ubuntu at first in automatic mode, then also with manual partitioning in something else. In both cases the installation crashes when installing grub2 to /dev/sda and the computer hangs.

Then I decided to install without boot loader using ubiquity -b.This worked well and the installation finished without any trouble.Finally I tried to install boot loader manually using grub-install. And here I come to the same point - computer hangs.

Install Ubuntu without bootloader, install the bootloader manually without trying to register new entry to UEFI, move the bootloader from /EFI/ubuntu/ to /EFI/BOOT/ and rename it to bootx64.efi. Then I am nearly sure it will work.

First, I strongly recommend you file a bug report about your problems, as described here. There's no guarantee this will produce positive results, but without bug reports, developers are very unlikely to fix problems.

That command, though, is missing an important parameter: -l filename. Also, I've never before seen -w as a required option, so that should probably be removed. In total, your command should instead be:

Change grubx64.efi to shimx64.efi if you're certain the shimx64.efi file is installed and if you want to be able to boot with Secure Boot active. Given that the main OS installation is freezing, I'm doubtful that this change will help at all, but it's worth trying.

As to the rest, I believe the --no-nvram option to grub-install should keep it from trying to update the NVRAM variables via efibootmgr. This option is not mentioned on the man page, but I believe it's a valid option.

You may also want to consult my page on EFI boot loaders for Linux, and especially its subpage on how to install boot loaders. These will give you some background on how the "nuts and bolts" of these operations proceed. You might even want to use something other than GRUB 2 as your boot loader.

To boot using the default filename, you should copy all of /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT and rename grubx64.efi to bootx64.efi within that directory. Alternatively, you could install something else using the fallback filename. One major caveat with this is that this may not work if the computer is already booting Windows (or some other OS). In that case, you may need to "hijack" the Windows boot loader by replacing it with GRUB 2 (or whatever you want to use) and moving the Windows boot loader elsewhere.

Linux can indeed be installed and booted on the Acer ES1-533 by hijacking the default (Windows) bootloader, as described by Sladek90 and also detailed on Rod Smith's excellent website. However, that is not necessary.

I had the same issue, what you need to do is go to Visual Studio Installer un-check in the Individual Components the .NET 8 ( might be shown as .NET Runtime)

then hit the Modify button. This will completely uninstall .NET 8 SDK. Then all you have to do is download the .NET 8 SDK msi (installer), install it and then reopen a Windows terminal session. Now you can run dotnet workload update and then dotnet workload install aspire

Installing the package installs ASPIRE to thesite-packages folder of your active environment. This is onlydesirable if you are not going to be doing any development onASPIRE, and only intend to run scripts that depend on the ASPIREpackage.

For those who wish to develop, we recommend starting with theinstructions on our README (copied below). Additionally some moreadvanced instructions are provided here for installing with softwareand hardware optimizations. Although not explicitly required, Fordevelopers and users not confident in software management the use ofconda is strongly encouraged.

For Apple silicon to use the osx-arm platform, patching andbuilding some dependencies from source is currently required. TheIntel osx-64 install is still preferred even for Apple siliconusers, otherwise notes areprovided.

Python 3.8 is used as an example, but the same procedure should workfor any of our supported Python versions 3.8-3.11. Below we pip installthe aspire package using the -e flag to install the project ineditable mode. The ".[dev]" command installs aspire from the localpath with additional development tools such as pytest and Jupyter Notebook.See the pip documentationfor more details on using pip install.
