@Andrei This is .NET Core: blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/12/04/… – Keitloa

It's a static class and not a class that you new up. Maybe that's your confusion. – Forest

Answer 1

System.Environment is available in the System.Runtime.Extensions package. Ensure you've referenced that package in your project.json.

{
  "frameworks": {
    "dnxcore50": {
      "dependencies": {
        "System.Runtime.Extensions": "4.0.10-*"
      }
    }
  }
}
