Note
dotnetup is in public preview. Its features and behavior might change before general availability.
Daily channels select builds from component-specific daily-build endpoints. Use them to test changes that are not yet available in a stable or preview release.
Caution
Daily builds can change frequently and are not supported releases. They are not code-signed. For more information, see How dotnetup verifies downloads.
Daily channel forms
| Form | Example | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Unscoped | daily |
Searches the next major version first, then the latest major version in release metadata |
| Major | 11-daily |
One major version |
| Major and minor | 11.0-daily |
One major and minor version |
| SDK feature band | 11.0.1xx-daily |
One SDK feature band |
| SDK preview phase | 11.0.1xx-preview.5-daily |
One SDK feature band and preview phase |
| Runtime preview phase | 11.0-preview.5-daily |
One runtime major/minor and preview phase |
The compact phase form preview5 is also accepted where
preview.5 is accepted.
preview-daily and daily channels with a complete patch version, such as
11.0.103-daily, are not valid.
Install a daily SDK
dotnetup sdk install 11.0.1xx-daily
Track a specific preview phase:
dotnetup sdk install 11.0.1xx-preview.5-daily
Install daily runtimes
dotnetup runtime install runtime@11.0-daily aspnetcore@11.0-daily
On Windows, you can also install the Windows Desktop daily runtime:
dotnetup runtime install windowsdesktop@11.0-daily
Update a daily build
Daily channels are tracked like other channels:
dotnetup update
If the endpoint resolves to a newer matching build, dotnetup installs it.
Garbage collection removes older files that no remaining specification needs.
Isolate daily builds
Use a separate installation root when you do not want daily builds to share files with your default managed installation:
dotnetup sdk install 11.0.1xx-daily --install-path .\.dotnet-daily
.\.dotnet-daily\dotnet.exe --version
The dotnetup dotnet forwarding command does not automatically select an
arbitrary custom installation root. To use a custom installation directly,
run its dotnet executable or activate it with
dotnetup env script --dotnet-install-path.
