Installation

dotnet tool (recommended)

dotnet tool install -g dotsider

Requires .NET 10 SDK or later.

On Windows, Linux, and macOS, the .NET SDK selects a self-contained Native AOT tool package for the current operating system and architecture. The install command stays the same on every platform. Other supported environments use the any package and require the .NET 10 runtime when dotsider runs.

Operating system	Architectures	Package runtime identifiers
Windows	x64, Arm64	win-x64, win-arm64
Linux (glibc)	x64, Arm64	linux-x64, linux-arm64
Linux (musl)	x64, Arm64	linux-musl-x64, linux-musl-arm64
macOS	x64, Arm64	osx-x64, osx-arm64

dotnet tool users already meet the Dynamic tab’s runtime requirement. See Dynamic for details.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew install willibrandon/tap/dotsider

WinGet (Windows)

winget install willibrandon.dotsider

Scoop (Windows)

scoop bucket add dotsider https://github.com/willibrandon/scoop-bucket
scoop install dotsider

Download binary

Grab a Native AOT archive from Releases. Static analysis does not need the .NET SDK or runtime. Live tracing requires a .NET 10-or-later runtime for the included tracehost helper; keep the archive’s tracehost directory beside the executable. Native symbols are available as separate archives for diagnostics.

CI marketplaces

NativeAOT size gates do not require a separate Dotsider installation. Use willibrandon/dotsider@v0 in GitHub Actions or install the public Dotsider Azure DevOps extension and use DotsiderSizeCheck@1. Both acquire a matching release, verify its checksum, and cache it. See CI integrations.
