Bolero is a functional, reactive web library built on top of Blazor for F# developers. It combines Elm's Model-View-Update architecture (MVU) via Elmish with powerful features pioneered by WebSharper, such as templating and easy remoting, to give developers a sound, effective and highly productive way to structure and implement full-stack .NET web applications that run on WebAssembly.

The Bolero homepage starts off with a video that shows you how to create your first client-server app with three simple commands:

Assuming you executed these commands in a simple shell (say, cmd on Windows), any issue hindering a successful run will show the following unceremonious output:

[C:\fsbolero\MyApp3\src\MyApp3.Client\MyApp3.Client.fsproj]

The build failed. Please fix the build errors and run again.

When this happens, and even in general, it's a good idea to add the -v n suffix to that last command to enable normal build output (or other debug levels as you need.)

For instance, now on an older machine I pulled out from the closet, I get the following more informative output:

Installing the right .NET Core SDK

Tucked away in the source repository, in the main README file, there is a short section that details what you need to compile and run Bolero itself:

1
 - .NET Core SDK 3.0-preview7 or newer. Download it  [here](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.0).

Not surprisingly, this same dependency applies to your Bolero applications as well. The normal build output we saw above already listed my installed frameworks, but if I need to, I can also quickly check separately:

Heading over to the Microsoft .NET Core download page and installing preview7 resolves the issue, and the vanilla Bolero template app now works as expected.

Happy coding!
