This tutorial covers the end-to-end process of creating a brand new ASP.NET MVC website and adding a React component in it. We will start from scratch and end with a fully functioning component. It assumes you have basic knowledge of ASP.NET MVC and using Visual Studio. This tutorial is based off the [original React tutorial](https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html) but has been modified specifically for ReactJS.NET.

### New Project
Start by creating a new ASP.NET Core MVC project:
-1. File → New → Project
-2. Ensure ".NET Framework 4.6" is selected in the dropdown list at the top
-3. Go to Templates → Visual C# → Web and select the "ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework)" template. Call it "ReactDemo"

+1. File → New → Project...
+2. Select "ASP.NET Core Web Application". You may search for it via the search box or narrow down your choices via the drop-downs - C#, All platforms, Web is a good way to get it as the first result.
+ [](/img/tutorial/newproject_core.png)
+3. Click "Next".
+4. Enter "ReactDemo" for the project name and location to store it.
+5. Click "Create".
+6. In the "Create a new ASP.NET Core web application" dialog, select the "Web Application (Model-View-Controller)" template. Also, ensure "Change Authentication" is set to "No Authentication".

+7. Click "Create".
-Note: We are using .NET Framework in this tutorial, but you can instead use .NET Core if you want to be able to run your site on Linux or Mac OS. Currently .NET Core is missing some of the functionality provided by .NET Framework, so it is recommended to use .NET Framework unless you have a reason to use .NET Core specifically (eg. cross-platform support).
+Note: We are using .NET Core 3.1 in this tutorial.

### Install ReactJS.NET
-We need to install ReactJS.NET to the newly-created project. This is accomplished using NuGet, a package manager for .NET. Right-click on the "ReactDemo" project in the Solution Explorer and select "Manage NuGet Packages". Click the "Browse" tab, search for "React.AspNet", and install the **React.AspNet** package.

+- `JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore`
+
+If you choose ChakraCore, make sure you change any code/using statements in this tutorial where needed.
