You have to have first created a project using dotnet new

md MyProject
cd MyProject
dotnet new console
dotnet run

md MyProject
cd MyProject
dotnet new console
dotnet run

This is the bare minimum for a working app

Does this look right to you?

I don't know a lot about either but from my limited knowledge they are more complex

if you can don't do C
