MS Project was designed and optimized specifically for the Windows operating system. Building project management software for Macs wasn't Microsoft's concern. In fact, the last time that there was a version of Microsoft Project for Apple users was back in 1993 with Microsoft Project 4.0 for Mac. Sadly, that doesn't work now!
In this video tutorial, we will learn how to download Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac/iMac/MacBook Pro/MacOS/MacBook Air and Apple. Download Updated Lin. While Microsoft doesn't have a desktop version of Visio for macOS, you can still work on Visio files on a Mac in your web browser. Visio for the web lets you view, create, and edit diagrams in the Safari or Chrome browser on your Mac. About Microsoft Project. Microsoft Project is a project management software designed for enterprises of all sizes. The tool includes project scheduling features, which allow management to create a project schedule, define and assign each project task, manage employee scheduling, and track project status. Mac OS, Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris. Teamwork (Free Forever Plan) Although Teamwork (formerly known as Teamwork Projects) is a.
-->In this article, you'll learn how to install .NET Core on macOS. .NET Core is made up of the runtime and the SDK. The runtime is used to run a .NET Core app and may or may not be included with the app. The SDK is used to create .NET Core apps and libraries. The .NET Core runtime is always installed with the SDK.
The latest version of .NET Core is 3.1.
Supported releases
The following table is a list of currently supported .NET Core releases and the versions of macOS they're supported on. These versions remain supported either the version of .NET Core reaches end-of-support.
- A ✔️ indicates that the version of .NET Core is still supported.
- A ❌ indicates that the version of .NET Core isn't supported.
Operating System | .NET Core 2.1 | .NET Core 3.1 | .NET 5 Preview |
---|---|---|---|
macOS 10.15 'Catalina' | ✔️ 2.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 3.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 5.0 Preview (Release notes) |
macOS 10.14 'Mojave' | ✔️ 2.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 3.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 5.0 Preview (Release notes) |
macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' | ✔️ 2.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 3.1 (Release notes) | ✔️ 5.0 Preview (Release notes) |
macOS 10.12 'Sierra' | ✔️ 2.1 (Release notes) | ❌ 3.1 (Release notes) | ❌ 5.0 Preview (Release notes) |
Unsupported releases
The following versions of .NET Core are ❌ no longer supported. The downloads for these still remain published:
- 3.0 (Release notes)
- 2.2 (Release notes)
- 2.0 (Release notes)
Runtime information
The runtime is used to run apps created with .NET Core. When an app author publishes an app, they can include the runtime with their app. If they don't include the runtime, it's up to the user to install the runtime.
There are three different runtimes you can install on macOS:
ASP.NET Core runtime
Runs ASP.NET Core apps. Includes the .NET Core runtime.
.NET Core runtime
This runtime is the simplest runtime and doesn't include any other runtime. It's highly recommended that you install ASP.NET Core runtime for the best compatibility with .NET Core apps.
SDK information
The SDK is used to build and publish .NET Core apps and libraries. Installing the SDK includes both runtimes: ASP.NET Core and .NET Core.
Dependencies
.NET Core is supported on the following macOS releases:
.NET Core Version | macOS | Architectures | |
---|---|---|---|
3.1 | High Sierra (10.13+) | x64 | More information |
3.0 | High Sierra (10.13+) | x64 | More information |
2.2 | Sierra (10.12+) | x64 | More information |
2.1 | Sierra (10.12+) | x64 | More information |
Beginning with macOS Catalina (version 10.15), all software built after June 1, 2019 that is distributed with Developer ID, must be notarized. This requirement applies to the .NET Core runtime, .NET Core SDK, and software created with .NET Core.
The installers for .NET Core (both runtime and SDK) versions 3.1, 3.0, and 2.1, have been notarized since February 18, 2020. Prior released versions aren't notarized. If you run a non-notarized app, you'll see an error similar to the following image:
For more information about how enforced-notarization affects .NET Core (and your .NET Core apps), see Working with macOS Catalina Notarization.
libgdiplus
.NET Core applications that use the System.Drawing.Common assembly require libgdiplus to be installed.
An easy way to obtain libgdiplus is by using the Homebrew ('brew') package manager for macOS. After installing brew, install libgdiplus by executing the following commands at a Terminal (command) prompt:
Install with an installer
macOS has standalone installers that can be used to install the .NET Core 3.1 SDK:
Download and manually install
As an alternative to the macOS installers for .NET Core, you can download and manually install the SDK and runtime. Manual install is usually performed as part of continuous integration testing. For a developer or user, it's generally better to use an installer.
If you install .NET Core SDK, you don't need to install the corresponding runtime. First, download a binary release for either the SDK or the runtime from one of the following sites:
- ✔️ .NET 5.0 preview downloads
- ✔️ .NET Core 3.1 downloads
- ✔️ .NET Core 2.1 downloads
Next, extract the downloaded file and use the export
command to set variables used by .NET Core and then ensure .NET Core is in PATH.
To extract the runtime and make the .NET Core CLI commands available at the terminal, first download a .NET Core binary release. Then, open a terminal and run the following commands from the directory where the file was saved. The archive file name may be different depending on what you downloaded.
Use the following command to extract the runtime:
Use the following command to extract the SDK:
Tip
The preceding export
commands only make the .NET Core CLI commands available for the terminal session in which it was run.
You can edit your shell profile to permanently add the commands. There are a number of different shells available for Linux and each has a different profile. For example:
- Bash Shell: ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc
- Korn Shell: ~/.kshrc or .profile
- Z Shell: ~/.zshrc or .zprofile
Edit the appropriate source file for your shell and add :$HOME/dotnet
to the end of the existing PATH
statement. If no PATH
statement is included, add a new line with export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
.
Also, add export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet
to the end of the file.
This approach lets you install different versions into separate locations and choose explicitly which one to use by which application.
Install with Visual Studio for Mac
Visual Studio for Mac installs the .NET Core SDK when the .NET Core workload is selected. To get started with .NET Core development on macOS, see Install Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. For the latest release, .NET Core 3.1, you must use the Visual Studio for Mac 8.4.
Install alongside Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a powerful and lightweight source code editor that runs on your desktop. Visual Studio Code is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
While Visual Studio Code doesn't come with an automated .NET Core installer like Visual Studio does, adding .NET Core support is simple.

- Download and install Visual Studio Code.
- Download and install the .NET Core SDK.
- Install the C# extension from the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
Install with bash automation
The dotnet-install scripts are used for automation and non-admin installs of the runtime. You can download the script from the dotnet-install script reference page.
The script defaults to installing the latest long term support (LTS) version, which is .NET Core 3.1. You can choose a specific release by specifying the current
switch. Include the runtime
switch to install a runtime. Otherwise, the script installs the SDK.
Note
The command above installs the ASP.NET Core runtime for maximum compatability. The ASP.NET Core runtime also includes the standard .NET Core runtime.
Docker
Containers provide a lightweight way to isolate your application from the rest of the host system. Containers on the same machine share just the kernel and use resources given to your application.
.NET Core can run in a Docker container. Official .NET Core Docker images are published to the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR) and are discoverable at the Microsoft .NET Core Docker Hub repository. Each repository contains images for different combinations of the .NET (SDK or Runtime) and OS that you can use.
Microsoft provides images that are tailored for specific scenarios. For example, the ASP.NET Core repository provides images that are built for running ASP.NET Core apps in production.
For more information about using .NET Core in a Docker container, see Introduction to .NET and Docker and Samples.
