Prerequisites

While not required, we recommend installing one of the development tools (Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code) provided by Microsoft.

If you plan to develop with .NET or ASP.NET Core, you will need to download and install the latest .NET SDK. Additionally, if you do not already know the language and framework well, we recommend you first spend time working through some of the following tutorials from Microsoft:

• Getting Started with C#
• Getting Started with ASP.NET Core

NuGet Feeds

When developing applications with Steeltoe, you need to pull the Steeltoe NuGet packages into your project.

To use the latest unstable packages from the developer feed, create a Nuget.config file with the contents below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <!-- Stable release and release candidates -->
    <add key="NuGet" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <!-- Latest unstable packages from CI builds -->
    <add key="SteeltoeDev" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/Steeltoe/_packaging/dev/nuget/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>
