Note
dotnetup is in public preview. Its features and behavior might change before general availability.
The preview channel selects the latest available preview or GoLive .NET
release. If no active preview is available, the resolver selects an active
release.
Install a preview SDK
dotnetup sdk install preview
The tracked specification remains preview. A later update can move it to a
newer preview:
dotnetup sdk update
Install preview runtimes
Select one or more runtime components:
dotnetup runtime install runtime@preview aspnetcore@preview
The Windows Desktop runtime is available only on Windows:
dotnetup runtime install windowsdesktop@preview
Pin one prerelease version
Use the full version from the published release metadata when you need one
specific prerelease. This .NET 11 Preview 7 version from releases.json is
out of date because the channel has advanced to a release candidate. It appears
only to show the command syntax:
dotnetup sdk install 11.0.100-preview.7.26381.103
An exact prerelease version is pinned, so update commands do not advance it.
Use the preview channel when you want the latest available preview instead.
Preview and daily are different
The preview channel uses published release metadata. A daily channel uses
daily-build endpoints and can select builds that are not published previews.
For more information, see Daily channels.
Remove the preview requirement
dotnetup sdk uninstall preview
This command removes the explicit preview specification. Files remain if
another specification still requires them.
