Getting Started

This document assumes that you prefer to use MVC / Razor Pages as the UI framework and Entity Framework Core as the database provider. For other options, please change the preference on top of this document.

Setup Your Development Environment

First things first! Let's setup your development environment before creating the project.

Pre-Requirements

The following tools should be installed on your development machine:

• Visual Studio 2019 (v16.8+) for Windows / Visual Studio for Mac. ¹

• .NET Core 5.0+

• Node v12 or v14

• Yarn v1.20+ (not v2) ² or npm v6+ (already installed with Node)

¹ You can use another editor instead of Visual Studio as long as it supports .NET Core and ASP.NET Core. ^↩

² Yarn v2 works differently and is not supported. ^↩

Install the ABP CLI

ABP CLI is a command line interface that is used to automate some common tasks for ABP based solutions. First, you need to install the ABP CLI using the following command:

dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli

If you've already installed, you can update it using the following command:

dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli
