In this article, you will find instructions on how to:
- Install .NET Code SDK (if necessary)
- Set up an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) of your choice (Visual Studio Community or Visual Studio Code).
- Write, execute, and debug C# programs.
Notice: Visual Studio Community is easy to install but runs only on Windows. On the other hand, Visual Studio Code runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but it requires a little bit more effort to install. Particularly, Visual Studio Community includes a C# compiler and debugger, while, Visual Studio Code requires installing them separately.
These instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux platform.
