I'm all done. Running bower install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.

Your project is now created, you can use the following commands to get going
    cd "GameReviewer"
    dotnet restore
    dotnet build (optional, build will also happen when it's run)
    dotnet run



~/Unity3D/GameReviewer
⇨ cd GameReviewer

~/Unity3D/GameReviewer/GameReviewer
⇨ dotnet restore
MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file.

@sayedihashimi , I'm guessing this is because the yoeman generators are still producing project.json based projects?

@AbhimanyuAryan , Can you try to run dotnet migrate ? That should convert project.json to GameReviewer.csproj and then you should be one step closer.

@piotrpMSFT , The yoeman templates that shipped in the past may be good test cases for dotnet migrate

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Done. But how do I fix that for all new applications that I create. Do I need to run dotnet migrate everytime I create a dotnet app? @Petermarcu

[Petermarcu]

You should be able to use dotnet new to create new projects. I don't know the difference between whats supported there and what's in yoeman but @sayedihashimi should be able to describe the difference and the plans for the yoeman generators.

[Petermarcu]

You can also create a folder and in that folder run dotnet new -t Web, dotnet restore, dotnet run to create, build, and launch an MVC site.

@Petermarcu when I create asp.net core application with dotnet new -t Web it doesn't contain Project.json. How should I install Entity Framework?
