Name

dotnetup dotnet - Run a command with the dotnetup-managed dotnet executable.

Synopsis

dotnetup dotnet [--] [<ARGUMENT>...]

Description

The command selects the current default dotnetup-managed .NET installation root. It uses the PATH location if that location is the default managed installation root. Otherwise, it uses the default installation root.

Before it starts the child process, it sets DOTNET_ROOT to the selected installation root and prepends that root to PATH. It forwards all remaining arguments and inherits standard input, output, and error. Its exit code is the child process exit code.

This command does not automatically select an arbitrary installation root supplied earlier with --install-path.

dotnetup dotnet changes the environment only for the command that it starts. Other applications do not use this installation by default. This includes IDEs such as Visual Studio Code.

Use Terminal Mode and launch the IDE from that terminal. On Windows, use Everywhere Mode to configure all applications. For more information, see dotnetup environment configuration.

Arguments

ARGUMENT

Zero or more arguments to pass to dotnet. The optional -- separator makes the forwarding boundary explicit and should be used whenever an argument passed to dotnet could overlap with an option that dotnetup dotnet also accepts.

Options

Option	Description
-?, -h, --help	Show dotnetup command help. Add -- before a dotnet help option when necessary.
