Task: I am trying to determine that Net Core is installed so I can used Visual Studio to code in C#. I am getting an error saying Visual Studio cannot find .NET on my machine. I need help with this task:

I ran the command suggested and received the following message in my terminal:
zsh: command not found: ~$

Although the following commands produced the following responses
shraddhaswaroop@Shraddhas-MacBook-Pro-2 ~ % where dotnet
/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet
shraddhaswaroop@Shraddhas-MacBook-Pro-2 ~ % dotnet --version
6.0.100

It seems your installation is fine given that dotnet --version worked.

You don't need to type ~$, just dotnet. Would it be more helpful if we removed those characters?

Also, are you getting any errors on VS Code too?

Are you using VS Code, or VS for Mac?

Task: Generate Assets for Build and Debug
Can you help me resolve this? This is what I am getting (the whole message is "Assets were not generated"):

Please see:

I believe this could be related and there's a workaround.
