  • Version:
  • ElectronNET.CLI 13.5.1
  • .NET Core 5.0
  • Visual Studio Community 2019 16.10.3

When I try to add the ElectronNET.CLI 13.5.1 nuget package to a brand new ASP.NET Core Web App project, I get the following error. The error says it's not compatible with net5.0 and instead I need net5.0.

D'oh... I'm new to installing CLI tools from nuget. Didn't read the docs thoroughly and didn't realize I can't add this to a project like other nuget packages.
Running "dotnet tool update ElectronNET.CLI -g" from a command line worked fine.

Sorry to bother you!
