dotnet-run

dotnet-run

Run Mono and .NET programs easily on all platforms.

Install

$ npm install dotnet-run

This will detect Mono/.NET or automatically download a suitable version for your system.

macOS

Unless we can find Mono v6.0.0.311 or greater on your system, we will provide you a minimal Mono installation automatically.

We provide minimal Mono releases for macOS, much smaller than official releases. Our v6.0.0.311 is distributed as a 33.6 MB tarball, which installs faster and is more than ten times smaller than the official pkg installer at 362.2 MB. Our package is unobtrusive to your system and will safely co-exist with any existing Mono install you may or may not have from before.

Linux

Linux users must provide their own Mono install before consuming this package. More information can be found on this page.

Windows

We use the built-in .NET Framework on Windows.

Usage

JavaScript

const run = require('dotnet-run');

run('bang.exe', ['pong', 'pang'], process.exit);

Terminal

$ dotnet-run bang.exe pong pang

Hello, pong pang!

$ dotnet-run --version
