Did you try https://dotnet.github.io/getting-started/?

Can I help with getting it running?

I did that the other day, on beta8 or whatever. In that case, I could run a console app. Then I tried the Yeoman setup [1] for a simple website without auth. It failed to run.

Today, I uninstalled mono, previous dmx stuff, and ran the package linked in this story. Same result. Yeoman website failed.

It's failing to resolve the fx dependencies.

Also, it's difficult for me to understand if I need mono or not. I have it.

Ah, sorry, I know nothing about Yeoman -- I'm only familiar with console applications :)

I followed the steps here. Do you happen to know how to build the command-line app in to an executable?

I was able to run it with 'dnx run', but not sure how to build it

You have to use dnu.

To restore packages:

    $ dnu restore

To build:

    $ dnu build

To run:

    $ dnx run

To run some other command:

    $ dnx <COMMAND_HERE>

I was able to use 'dnu build', but that looks like it builds a dll and places it in a folder. I was curious if it's possible to build a single executable (similar to go) that can be run. Also, 'dnx run' is slightly slow so I wanted to see if the performance hit was less after building an exe.

Ah! What you're looking for is dotnet/cli[0].

Soon, but not quite yet. you'll be able to "dotnet compile" in a folder and that'll make stuff, and then "dotnet compile --native" will give you a single linked executable.
