This article shows you the supported macOS versions and .NET Core dependencies that you need to develop, deploy, and run .NET Core applications on macOS machines. The supported OS versions and dependencies that follow apply to the three ways of developing .NET Core apps on a Mac: via the command-line with your favorite editor, Visual Studio Code, and Visual Studio for Mac.

Supported macOS versions

.NET Core 2.x is supported on the following versions of macOS:

  • macOS 10.12 'Sierra' and later versions

See .NET Core 2.1 Supported OS Versions and .NET Core 2.2 Supported OS Versions for the complete list of .NET Core 2.1 and .NET Core 2.2 supported operating systems, distributions and versions, out of support OS versions, and lifecycle policy links.

For download links and more information, see .NET Core 2.2 downloads or .NET Core 2.1 downloads.

.NET Core 1.x is supported on the following versions of macOS:

  • macOS 10.12 'Sierra'
  • macOS 10.11 'El Capitan'

See .NET Core 1.1 Supported OS Versions and .NET Core 1.0 Supported OS Versions for the complete list of .NET Core 1.1 and .NET Core 1.0 supported operating systems, distributions and versions, out of support OS versions, and lifecycle policy links.

For download links and more information, see .NET Core 1.1 downloads or .NET Core 1.0 downloads.

.NET Core 3.0 is supported on the following versions of macOS:

  • macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' and later versions

See .NET Core 3.0 Supported OS Versions for the complete list of .NET Core 3.0 supported operating systems, distributions and versions, out of support OS versions, and lifecycle policy links.

For download links and more information, see .NET Core 3.0 downloads.

.NET Core dependencies

Download and install the .NET Core SDK from .NET Downloads. If you have problems with the installation on macOS, consult the Known issues topic for the version you have installed.

.NET Core 1.x requires OpenSSL when running on macOS. An easy way to obtain OpenSSL is by using the Homebrew ('brew') package manager for macOS. After installing brew, install OpenSSL by executing the following commands at a Terminal (command) prompt:

Download and install the .NET Core SDK from .NET Downloads. If you have problems with the installation on macOS, consult the 1.0.0 Known Issues and 1.0.1 Known Issues topics.

Visual studio code download mac

Download and install the .NET Core SDK from .NET Downloads. If you have problems with the installation on macOS, consult the Release notes topic for the version you have installed.

Increase the maximum open file limit (.NET Core versions before .NET Core SDK 2.0.2)

In older .NET Core versions (before .NET Core SDK 2.0.2), the default open file limit on macOS may not be sufficient for some .NET Core workloads, such as restoring projects or running unit tests.

You can increase this limit by following these steps:

  1. Using a text editor, create a new file /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist, and save the file with this content:

  2. In a terminal window, run the following command:

  3. Reboot your Mac to apply these settings.

Visual Studio for Mac

You can use any editor to develop .NET Core applications using the .NET Core SDK. However, if you want to develop .NET Core applications on a Mac in an integrated development environment, you can use Visual Studio for Mac.

.NET Core development on macOS with Visual Studio for Mac requires:

  • A supported version of the macOS operating system
  • OpenSSL (.NET Core 1.x only; .NET Core 2.x uses security services available natively in macOS)
  • .NET Core SDK for Mac

I am trying to setup an MVC project that can make use of the Bower package manager in Visual Studio on a Mac so that it is the same as using it on Windows. I want to add Bootstrap and jQuery into my application.

I have looked at the pre-built projects that come with Visual Studio and can see that they have used bower.json to install packages such as Bootstrap and jQuery into the project. As a result, in the wwwroot file they have a lib file containing all the required dist folders.

I have tried adding the bower.json file into the project with only the 'Bootstrap' reference as shown in the picture above and have set it to 'Content' on the 'Build Actions' tab. (This what the bower.json file is set to in the pre-built project) However, whenever I set the folders 'Build Actions' to 'Content' and try to build the project, I get this error:

Now every time I change the 'EnableCompileDefaultItems' to false and try to save it, I get an 'Access Denied' message.

All the other files such as appsettings.json are also not being added and I cannot find anything on the internet that gives a good walkthrough regarding setting an empty project up...

How can I use Bower in my project or is there another easier way to add third party items such as Bootstrap into the project? I assume it is possible to download the files for libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery and add them directly into the wwwroot folder? However, I have never done this is a .Net Core application and am unsure of the setup required for the folder structure.

I guess if it comes to it, I can create a pre-built project and delete all the things I do not need, but I think that is a very backwards way of going about it.
