Where is the default .NET Core SDK path in MacOS

Question

I've recently installed the .NET Core SDK for MacOS in order to create a demo application using the new JetBrains Rider EAP.

Project 'WebApi' load failed
Can't initialize DotNetCore: Please select  DotNet Core SDK path.
To get instructions how to setup visit https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core

After the installation I tried to find the path to the DotNet Core SDK without success.

Any idea about the location of the .NET Core SDK?

Answer 1

Try this path: /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet

It took some time to find it:

find / -name dotnet

Somewhere

Now it's /usr/local/share/dotnet/x64/dotnet – Bittern

Answer 2

If you run this in your terminal, it will list the installed SDK's and their locations. I believe it works in windows as well

dotnet --list-sdks

Incase

This command doesn't work even when the .Net framework has been installed – Breeks

This is just for dotnet core – Incase

Answer 3

For me it was:

/System/Volumes/Data/Users/$USER/.dotnet

Also, tips, if you run find / -name dotnet do it like:

find / -name dotnet 2>/dev/null

That way you don't get any permissions errors just real hits.

I'm on Mac (Ventura) and downloading the .NET SDK Arm64 instead of the .NET SDK 64x package worked for me.
