Getting started with ASP.NET 5

• Windows
• OS X

Code editor

If you are on Windows you can download and install Visual Studio 2015 RC

If you are on OS X, or don't want to install and run VS2015 RC, there are a few other options available to you:

• Visual Studio Code, Microsofts new xplat code editor.
• OmniSharp provide plugins for several other popular text editors for both Windows and OS X.

Windows

Once you've got all the necessary bits mentioned above, run the below:

git clone https://github.com/JabbR/JabbRv2.git JabbRv2
cd JabbRv2
.\build.cmd

OSX

If you want to build and develop JabbRv2 on OSX there's a few little hoops that you will have to jump through to get it buildind and running.

• There's currently a bug in the latest public build of Mono (4.0.1) that causes System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code, the workaround for this is to build Mono from source using their One Stop Shop Build Script (32-bit) or install one of the weekly snapshot builds that the mono project provide here.
• There's an issue in the KestrelHttpServer that causes a server deadlock, there is a workaround for this and we've included that in the source (KestrelWorkaround.cs).

Once you have the latest mono installed, run the below:

git clone https://github.com/JabbR/JabbRv2.git JabbRv2
cd JabbRv2
.\build.sh
