dotnet-tool: Install a global tool (don't use `--global` for local tools).
$ dotnet tool install --global ${dotnetsay}
try on your machine
The command "dotnet tool install --global ${dotnetsay}" is used to install a .NET Core global tool called "dotnetsay" on your system.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "dotnet tool install": This is the part that initiates the installation of a .NET Core tool.
- "--global": This flag specifies that the tool should be installed globally on your system. Global installation means the tool will be available for use in any project or location.
- "${dotnetsay}": This is a placeholder used to represent the name of the tool being installed. In this case, the tool's name is "dotnetsay". The actual name of the tool can vary depending on what you want to install.
To use this command correctly, you need to replace "${dotnetsay}" with the actual name of the tool you want to install. For example, if you want to install a tool named "mytool", the command would be:
dotnet tool install --global mytool
Remember to have the correct name of the tool you want to install since it plays a crucial role in determining the package to be installed.
