Installation of Blazor on Mac OS X

in ,

Blazor is a feature of .Net that allows for client-side web applications to be built via CSS, HTML, and C#. Apps written in Blazor can be written on almost any platform, including the Mac. This blog post walks through the installation process as documented on the MS Blazor Tutorial website.

Blazor’s tech stack is part of Microsoft’s .Net developer platform. Because of that, the first thing we need to do is install the .Net Software Developer Kit (SDK).

Steps

  1. Download DotNet SDK for Mac.
