dotnet run command unable to find SplashKit library

Issue:

You get an error message when running the dotnet run command (after running the dotnet add package SplashKit command), which might look something like this:

Solution(s)

1: Update SplashKit

1. Run the following command in a new terminal window:

   skm update

   Make sure to check if there are any errors in the output such as permissions issues.

2. You may also need to run:

   skm global install

   This command is usually run when using the update command above, but running it again won’t cause issues.

   Using OSX version older than 12.3?

   If using an OSX version pre-12.3, you will need to build the library locally. You can do this by running:

   skm macos install

3. To test if this has been resolved:

   Create a new project folder and a new C# project.

2: Use skm commands

You can use skm at the start of any compiling/building commands, or when running C# programs.

For example, you can use the following commands:

• skm dotnet build: compile/build the project in the current working directory.
• skm dotnet run: build if needed, then run/execute your program.
• skm dotnet new: create a new project in the current working directory.
