This post will show you how to create a console application on Linux or Windows machine.
Dotnet
With .NET 5, creating a C# 9 application has gotten easier and simpler and only requires a single command. The following command will create a C# console application called myfirstapp
dotnet new console --name myfirstapp
The output of the command is shown below. If you look closely, you will see that it uses the “Console Application” temple, which is used to create a C# application.
To create an ASP.NET core application we would use the mvc template.
The template "Console Application" was created successfully.
Processing post-creation actions...
Running 'dotnet restore' on myfirstapp/myfirstapp.csproj...
Determining projects to restore...
Restored /home/abbs/myfirstapp/myfirstapp.csproj (in 135 ms).
Restore succeeded.
Once the application has been created, you will see a folder with the following items in it. Program.cs is the actual application. myfirstapp. csproj is the project file for the application.
Program.cs
myfirstapp.csproj

To run the newly created application, I will run the following command from inside the folder (myfirstapp).

The output should look like
Hello World!
