Run `dotnet --list-sdks` for SDKs and `dotnet --list-runtimes` for runtimes.

01Command

Command

$ dotnet --list-sdks; dotnet --list-runtimes

02What it does

When a project complains about a missing .NET version or builds with the wrong one, the first step is seeing what's actually installed. `dotnet --list-sdks` prints every SDK version with its install path, and `dotnet --list-runtimes` does the same for runtimes (ASP.NET Core, desktop, etc.) — you often have several side by side. Both are instant read-only queries built into the dotnet CLI itself.
