Getting started with ASP.NET Core MVC and Visual Studio for Mac

By Rick Anderson

This tutorial teaches you the basics of building an ASP.NET Core MVC web app using Visual Studio for Mac.

[!INCLUDEconsider RP]

There are 3 versions of this tutorial:

macOS: (xref:)Build an ASP.NET Core MVC app with Visual Studio for Mac
Windows: (xref:)Build an ASP.NET Core MVC app with Visual Studio
Linux, macOS, and Windows: (xref:)Build an ASP.NET Core MVC app with Visual Studio Code

Prerequisites

This tutorial requires the .NET Core 2.0.0 SDK or later.

Install the following:

.NET Core 2.0.0 SDK or later
Visual Studio for Mac

Create a web app

From Visual Studio, select File > New Solution.

Select .NET Core App > ASP.NET Core > Web App > Next.

Name the project MvcMovie, and then select Create.

Launch the app

In Visual Studio, select Run > Start Without Debugging to launch the app. Visual Studio starts (xref:)Kestrel, launches a browser, and navigates to http://localhost:port, where port is a randomly chosen port number.

The address bar shows localhost:port# and not something like example.com. That’s because localhost is the standard hostname for your local computer. When Visual Studio creates a web project, a random port is used for the web server. When you run the app, you’ll see a different port number.
You can launch the app in debug or non-debug mode from the Run menu.

The default template gives you Home, About and Contact links. The browser image above doesn’t show these links. Depending on the size of your browser, you might need to click the navigation icon to show them.

In the next part of this tutorial, you learn about MVC and start writing some code.
