NetPad supports .NET 6 and later. You must have at least one of these SDKs installed to use NetPad.

🖱️ To change the selected SDK for a particular script, click the SDK dropdown from the toolbar and select the SDK you want to use.

SDK Installation

NetPad does not install the .NET SDK for you; management of installed SDKs is left to the user.

Auto-detection

NetPad will attempt to automatically locate where you have installed the .NET SDK. First it will attempt to use the value from one of these environment variables:

  • DOTNET_ROOT
  • DOTNET_INSTALL_DIR

If not found, the following locations will be searched (in order):

Windows:

  • {HomeDirectory}\.dotnet
  • C:\Program Files\dotnet\x64
  • C:\Program Files\dotnet

Linux/macOS:

  • {HomeDirectory}/.dotnet
  • /usr/local/share/dotnet
  • /usr/share/dotnet
  • /usr/lib/dotnet
  • /usr/lib64/dotnet
  • /opt/dotnet

If it cannot find your .NET SDK installation in any of those locations it will attempt to execute dotnet from your $PATH and use it if it's found.

Manual

You can tell NetPad where your SDK is installed by going to Settings > General > Folders and adding the full path to your .NET SDK installation directory in the .NET SDK setting.
