Before you get started, make sure you have Visual Studio 2017 v15.7.2 or higher and ASP.NET Core 2.1 with .NET Core 2.1. Both come with .NET Core SDK 2.1.300 or higher.

You can download Visual Studio and .NET Core SDK here https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/windows

In Visual Studio 2017, create a new project ASP.NET Core Web Application.

In the dialog box New ASP.NET Core Web Application, use the template API.

NOTE

Keep the Authentication settings with the default value of No Authentication. You will bring all necessary components later.

In this tutorial, you've seen how to create an empty ASP.NET Core API. In the next tutorial, you'll learn how to handle settings for Auth0 configuration.
