Create a console app with the CLI

dotnet new console -lang "F#" -o src/MyConsoleApp

Run the app in the terminal

The easy way: Move first to the folder with the .fsproj file and then use dotnet run without any arguments:

cd src/MyConsoleApp
dotnet run

If you want to start the app from a location different than the one containing the .fsproj file, you need to enter the argument --project with the path to the .fsproj file.

dotnet run --project src/MyConsoleApp/MyConsoleApp.fsproj
