File locations
The default location for a tool's executable file depends on the operating system:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Linux/macOS | $HOME/.dotnet/tools |
| Windows | %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools |
This location is added to the user's path when the SDK is first run. So global tools can be invoked from any directory without specifying the tool location.
Tool access is user-specific, not machine global. A global tool is only available to the user that installed the tool.
