Dotnet Tool Install
Zee Badoni
The --tool-path parameter tells the .NET CLI to install the tool binaries in the specified location. If the directory doesn't exist, it is created. This directory is not automatically added to the PATH environment variable.
In this tutorial, you installed and used a tool as a global tool. For more information about how to install and use global tools, see Managing global tools. To install and use the same tool as a local tool, advance to the next tutorial.
Tools with explicit tool paths are stored wherever you specified the --tool-path parameter to point to. They're stored in the same way as global tools: an executable binary with the actual binaries in a sibling .store directory.
Local tools are stored in the NuGet global directory, whatever you've set that to be. There are shim files in $HOME/.dotnet/toolResolverCache for each local tool that point to where the tools are within that location.
References to local tools are added to a dotnet-tools.json file in a .config directory under the current directory. If a manifest file doesn't exist yet, create it by using the --create-manifest-if-needed option or by running the following command:
Adds an additional NuGet package source to use during installation. Feeds are accessed in parallel, not sequentially in some order of precedence. If the same package and version is in multiple feeds, the fastest feed wins. For more information, see What happens when a NuGet package is installed?.
Applies to local tools. Available starting with .NET 8 SDK. To find a manifest, the search algorithm searches up the directory tree for dotnet-tools.json or a .config folder that contains a dotnet-tools.json file.
Specifies the location where to install the Global Tool. PATH can be absolute or relative. If PATH doesn't exist, the command tries to create it. Omitting both --global and --tool-path specifies a local tool installation.
I had the same issue using v.5.7.2. There's a still open discussion on GitHub about that topic. It seems when calling dotnet install it will implcitely also call dotnet restore, which will use your Nuget.config. When there's a private feed that needs authentication within that file, dotnet install will fail instead of just using the next feed available. So we can add the official nuget-feed and ignore any others using the following:
I needed to run a dotnet tool parallel on multiple machines in the same pipeline and then this method does not work. Seemed like a conflict when running the update command during the same time window.
To circumvent this, I had to create a small PowerShell script to check the output of the dotnet tool list -g command and first manually check if the tool was installed. You can find the code for it in this Gist.
The documentation does not mention any configuration that needs to happen for the global tool version of the scanner, however, elsewhere on the page it does say that the " SonarQube.Analysis.xml" file needs to be updated. In my case there seem to be 3 of them. One for each of the below frameworks:
I had to make sure the path to the dotnet tools was added to the $PATH variable. I thought I did so, but it seems I misinterpreted the suggestion dotnet provides when installing a global tool. This is the correct way:
.NET Core Global Tools are really taking off right now. They are meant for devs - this isn't a replacement for chocolatey or apt-get - this is more like npm's global developer tools. They're putting together a better way to find and identify global tools, but for now Nate McMaster has a list of some great .NET Core Global Tools on his GitHub. Feel free to add to that list!
Coverlet is a cross platform code coverage tool that's in active development. In fact, I automated my build with code coverage for my podcast site back in March. I combined VS Code, Coverlet, xUnit, plus these Visual Studio Code extensions
I had to write a little PowerShell script because the "dotnet test" command for testing my podcast site with coverlet got somewhat unruly. Coverlet.msbuild was added as a package reference for my project.
It's great that there is this much control, but I think assuming "dotnet test" is a fair assumption, so ideally I could go into any folder with a test project and type "coverlet test" and get that nice ASCII table. Later I'd be more sophisticated and read the excellent docs as there's lots of great options like setting coverage thresholds and the like.
In my previous post, Docker build with private NuGet feed in Azure artifacts, I hit a problem with docker build because I had a private NuGet feed. I was getting another 401 Unauthorised, but this time when trying to install a .NET global tool:

Hi, do you know if exist some "standard" way how to add configuration to local dotnet tool? My use case is that I create tool for automatization of our workflow (automatic PRs with description, etc...). So in config should be at least PAT. Problem is that dotnet tools are stored in same location (so "own" config file beside exe is not practical (you could have more project using the same tool)). It seems that solution could be to put User secret ID to dotnet-tools.json (so it is unique) and after invoking dotnet tool read proper value from user secrets.
So questions are: Do you see some better way like this one with user secrets? It is possible to create own "commands" like in npm that could be invoked? Or I need create script with invoking dotnet tool with some arg (user secret id)
PowerShell has already been included as a global tool within the .NET Core 3.0 Preview Docker images since Preview.4.These images are a great starting point for building a .NET Core CI/CD image(you can find some awesome samplesover at the dotnet-docker repo.)
WiX is available as an MSBuild SDK for building from the command line using dotnet build from the .NET SDK or the .NET Framework-based MSBuild from Visual Studio. SDK-style projects have smart defaults that make for simple .wixproj project authoring. For example, here's a minimal .wixproj that builds an MSI from the .wxs source files in the project directory:
To build your deployment package and deploy it to Lambda, you use the Amazon.Lambda.Tools CLI tools. To deploy your function from the files you created in the previous steps, first navigate into the folder containing your function's .csproj file.
After you have deployed your function, you can test it in the cloud using the dotnet lambda invoke-function command. For the example code in the lambda.EmptyFunction template, you can test your function by passing in a string using the --payload option.
If you're running on Linux-based systems, it's worth checking if the nuke global tool is available. This can be verified with where nuke. If the global tool is not found, you have to manually add $HOME/.dotnet/tools to your terminal configuration:
While theoretically, you could use NUKE by only adding its main NuGet package, we highly recommend using the dedicated global tool to set up new builds. This ensures that your repository will run consistently in different environments and that your build implementation is always properly formatted.
It's not often that a tool causes enough friction that it ends up requiring less effort to develop a replacement thanit is to continue using the tool. But this has been our experience with maintaining our VS.NET Templates in theServiceStackVS VS.NET Extension which has been the biggest time sink of all our3rd Party Integrations where the iteration time to check in a change, wait for CI build, uninstall/re-install the VS.NET extensionand create and test new projects is measured in hours not minutes. To top off the poor development experience we've now appeared to havereached the limits of the number of Project Templates we can bundle in our 5MB ServiceStackVS.vsix VS.NET Extension as anumber of Customers have reported seeing VS.NET warning messages that ServiceStackVS is taking too long to load.
Given all the scenarios ServiceStack can be used in, we needed a quicker way to create, update and test our growing 47 starting project templates.In the age of simple command-line dev tools like git and .NET Core's light weight text/human friendly projects, maintaining and creatingnew .NET project templates still feels archaic & legacy requiring packaging projects as binary blobs in NuGet packages which become stalethe moment they're created.
Especially for SPA projects which need to be frequently updated, the existing .NET Project Templates system is a stale solution that doesn't offermuch benefit over maintaining individual GitHub projects, which is exactly what the dotnet-new npm tool and now x new .NET Core are designed around.
Inside dotnet-new and x new is an easier way to create and share any kind of project templates which are easier for developersto create, test, maintain and install. So if you're looking for a simpler way to be able to create and maintain your own value-added project templateswith additional bespoke customizations, functionality, dependencies and configuration, using x new is a great way to maintain and share them.
Importantly end users will always be able to view the latest list of project templates and create projects using the latest available version,even if using older versions of the tools as they query GitHub's public APIs to list all currently available projects that for installationwill use the latest published release (or master if there are no published releases), which if available, downloads, caches andcreates new projects from the latest published .zip release.
