You also need a latest version of Mono, which is required for DNX tooling. This is a temporary requirement, and will not be required in the future.

Installing the .NET Core DNX
----------------------------

You first need to acquire the Mono DNX. It doesn't include Mono, but is
needed to use the DNX tools on top of Mono. In particular, the DNU
command is not yet supported on .NET Core, requiring us to use Mono for
this purpose (until DNU runs on .NET Core). Mono is the default DNX, so
you can acquire it via ``dnvm upgrade``.

.. code-block:: console

dnvm upgrade -u

Next, acquire the .NET Core DNX SDK.
You first need to acquire the CoreCLR DNX.

See the asterisk in the listing above? It's purpose is to tell you which runtime is now active. "Active" here means that all of the interaction with your projects and .NET Core will use this runtime.

You are now ready to run your app under .NET Core. As you can guess, however, before you do that you first need to switch to the .NET Core runtime. The first command below does exactly that.
