Before you get started
Before you get started with the Sitecore ASP.NET Core SDK, you must prepare your development environment.
Check that you have the following, before getting started:
-
Access to an XM Cloud environment.
-
.NET Core 8.0 SDK. Check your installed version by using the
dotnet --version
command. -
An IDE that supports C# development, such as Visual Studio Code, or Visual Studio 2022 or later.
-
Optionally, Docker for Windows (with Windows Containers and Compose V2 enabled).
If you choose to use Docker, you also need:
-
An XM Cloud license.
-
.NET Framework 4.8 SDK (see the Microsoft procedure for checking .NET Framework versions).
-
PowerShell 5.1 or later (check your installed version with the
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
command).
-
