I created this minimal CoreCLR Console App in a effort to better understand the dependencies in .NET Core. It is based on the Get .NET Core on Windows - Raw Experience documentation. The main change I made was to use Paket to download the NuGet packages. This change makes it very quick and easy to get the latest builds. paket update takes less than a minute on my computer. It also simplifies updating the build.ps1, because it doesn't extract to folder names containing versions.
It is a pretty simple HelloWorld!
Here are the necessary dependencies.
I created a PowerShell script to build and run it.
Tada!
The code is here. Happy cloning!
