ASP.NET 5 project packages clenaup - asp.net

I am using latest nightly build during developmant of my ASP.NET 5 project and faced following issue.
During publishing I have all previous versions of packages published instead of just latest (that are specified in project.json).
So if I previously used "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta1", "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta2", "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-rc1" I'll get all of them published to publish_folder\approot\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.
How can I avoid publishing packages that are not used in the project anymore?

There is no issues anymore, I believe this bug fixed by Microsoft already. I've upgraded KVM to latest RC version as well as all packages in the project. To install and upgrade KVM and KRE do the following:
Open PowerShell as Administrator
Run command: "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" and confirm changes, this will allow execution of PowerShell scripts
Clone https://github.com/aspnet/Home repository (in my case it's D:\GitHub\Home)
in PowerShell console navigate to D:\GitHub\Home and run "kvminstall.ps1"
Change default feed URL to dev branch to use latest packages
a. Open "kvm.ps1" for editing
b. Go to line 41 and set feed url: $feed = "https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2";
If you skip previous step, you will get beta1 version of packages (on time of writing this post) instead of release candidate
Open command promt (Windows -> Run -> cmd)
Navigate to D:\GitHub\Home
Run "kvm upgrade" (it will download latest version of KRE x86 and set it as default
Run "kvm up upgrade -amd64" to do the same for x64 packages version

"dotnet" command does nothing

I'm trying to install a global package through dotnet cli but the command dotnet does nothing. I don't get an error message that says the command is not found etc. but it also doesn't run.
Between each line, cursor inside the powershell (or command prompt) turns into Working In Background ( ) mode but after just a few seconds, it just gets into the new line without doing anything. During these few seconds, if I move the cursor outside the prompt, it goes back to regular mode. So it's doing something I guess.
What is happening here, and how can I solve this issue?
What have I already tried:
1-) Since my network is behind a proxy, I've added the proxy credentials through NPM configuration commands. (as can be seen here)
(I also set the strict-ssl to false).
2-) Since it didn't do anything, I also used this method and edited the global nuget.config file. But didn't solve any problem.
3-) I tried this too, but setting the environment variable MSBuildSDKsPath seems to do nothing about my problem.
My PATH variable has these:
C:\Program Files\dotnet,
%USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools
I also downloaded the latest Dotnet 5.0 SDK and installed it, but nothing.
Only command that works with dotnet is the --list-sdks command which shows this result:
I uninstalled all the .NET SDKs and runtimes, I also removed all the installed modules on both VS 2019 and VS 2022 Preview using the Visual Studio Installer, then restarted my computer.
While installing the SDKs and runtimes from Microsoft's website I checked the .NET version using the command line and command dotnet --version after every installation to see when exactly it starts not working. After installing all the SDK's up to .NET 5, there was no issue. And since I did not really need the .NET 6 SDK I didn't specifically download it thinking VS 2022 Preview would automatically install it anyways.
Using Visual Studio Installer, I installed the necessary components for the dotnet development on the VS 2019 and the previously mentioned command was working on point. Then I proceeded to install the necessary components on the VS 2022 Preview but after installing it, the command started to not work. So there it was, the source of the problem. Something about VS 2022 Preview's installment process just corrupts dotnet cli, but I'm not sure if it's just me.
You also need a restart after all the installments or dotnet cli might show some errors.

Is there a Linux equivalent of LightIngest.exe?

Is there a Linux equivalent of LightIngest.exe? The page of the utility does not mention that, search brings no luck either. In case it is not available, what is the preferred way to post ingestion items through CLI in Linux?
There is a .NET Core Kusto.Tools package - it is currently built for Core 2.1 and we will be working on updating it in the coming weeks.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Kusto.Tools.NETCore/
Thanks to Vladik's answer I was able to download the package and use the included LightIngest.dll to execute an ingest through my Mac. Here are the steps:
Use nuget to download the Microsoft.Azure.Kusto.Tools.NETCore package installed:
nuget install Microsoft.Azure.Kusto.Tools.NETCore -Source nuget.org -OutputDirectory SPECIFY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
Navigate to the directory, and go to the tools subfolder. There you should find LightIngest.dll
Assuming you have dotnet installed (CLI) and SDK (v2.1) you should be able to execute an ingestion:
dotnet ./LightIngest.dll ...
Replace the ... with the Windows equivalent command that Azure Data Explorer Ingestion wizard suggested, and it should start ingesting!

No executable found matching command "dotnet-add"

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 25 (followed by an install of dotnet core 1.1) to explore the possibilities of doing some dotnet core development in an linux environment. On attempting to add my first package I received the following error:
No executable found matching command "dotnet-add"
I have seen some similar errors in other SO posts, but nothing that seems to be helping this issue. I attached some images below of the error, dotnet version info, system path, and dotnet location.
Thanks ahead of any tips!
You have installed a version of the dotnet SDK ("CLI" / dotnet-dev package) of the preview2 time, which is still project.json based. This version of the CLI does not contain the dotnet add set of verbs. These were publicly released with the 1.0.0 version. (at the time of writing, the current version of the SDK / CLI is 1.0.4).
Depending on which instructions you followed to install the components, make sure to update to new versions of the SDK / CLI (e.g. microsoft's install instructions for Fedora).
Note that the version of the SDK / CLI is a different one that the version of the runtime(s) on the machine.
Had the same trouble running VS 2017 Version 15.3.5 found a very helpful article
http://thedatafarm.com/data-access/no-executable-found-matching-command-dotnet-ef/
My Basic problem is the tooling is split into two:
One for CLI: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet
One for Powershell: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

How to restore an ASP.NET Core project with Ubuntu

Recently, I created an asp.net core project using Visual Studio Code on Windows and pushed it to GitHub. When I cloned the repo from GitHub and attempted to do a dotnet restore on the project on Ubuntu, an error message stating there was no project.json file was returned. Can anyone point me to a resource that will show me how to properly restore a .net core project from a Linux machine? Thanks!
So it seems like on each of your machines you are running different versions of the .net core SDK.
A big caveat with what you are trying to do. Are you trying to use Project Rider from Jetbrains on Linux? This only works with project.json (As of the time of this post) so be wary of that.
Now there are two ways to do this. If you are wanting the very latest on Linux and don't care about using Rider, then you can go here : https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archive.md and download the latest release for both Linux and Windows, install on both and you should be good to go.
If you do care about using Rider or you aren't ready to be strapped in for the wild ride of the latest release. Then you can do the following.
Find what version of the SDK you have on linux by typing into a terminal the following :
dotnet --version
This will spit out what version you have on linux. Go here and download the same version for windows and install it on your windows machine (https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archive.md).
Now BEFORE you create a project, create a solution folder and create a file in it called global.json. Inside that put the following :
"sdk": {
"version": "1.0.0-preview2-003131"
}
Where the SDK version matches what you got from your linux terminal. Now create a folder for your project inside the solution folder. Run "dotnet new -t web" or a similar command to create your project. It will inspect the SDK version of the global.json and create a project with the tooling that matches. You should then be able to shift this project around any machine that has the same SDK installed, even if it also has the latest SDK's also.
If you do not create the global.json, it defaults to the latest version (Atleast on Windows).

Meteor version is different in local folder from global version

I git clone a package from github and checked the version inside that folder:
>meteor --version
Extracting meteor-tool#1.4.2_7... (forever running)
Then I go outside of that folder:
>meteor --version
Meteor 1.4.3.1
How can I run the global version inside a meteor project folder?
It is because that meteor project you checked out from github is targeting 1.4.2_7. Everytime you create a new meteor project, it saves the version that you used to create it (in a file inside the .meteor folder) so that if the api changes in new future versions, your project will still run (since it targets a specific version in time).
Because of this, when you go to run the project later, it will always use the targeted version (the version used to create the project.). If that version is not on your system, then it will download and install it first before running the app. This is what you have observed. It is downloading that certain version and it can take a very long time to do this depending in your connection speed (it often takes 15 - 25 minutes to do this on my machine at home.
One note, the project's meteor version can be changed by calling meteor update
