Create a project
To get started, we are going to use the simplest Fabulous for Avalonia template: Fabulous Avalonia Blank (or fabulous-avalonia in the CLI).
Run the command:
dotnet new fabulous-avalonia -n GetStartedApp
This will create a new folder called GetStartedApp containing the new project.
In this folder, you'll find a project named GetStartedApp. This project uses the single project format to target several platforms from a single codebase.
See the official Avalonia documentation for more information on the supported platforms.
Run a project
We are now ready to run the project!
Go into the GetStartedApp directory and run:
# run the Desktop app
dotnet run -f net7.0
You can also open the solution GetStartedApp.sln with your favorite IDE and select the platform you want, then press debug to deploy and run the app.
