Fixes for Mac Getting Started page #138

Closed scottprahl closed 6 months ago

scottprahl commented 6 months ago

Trying to install vts on a new M3 Macbook and ran into a few dated recommendations on the getting started page

https://github.com/VirtualPhotonics/VTS/wiki/Getting-Started-on-Mac

First, bump the recommended version of .NET from 5 is 6. It seems the project already uses version 6 since some tests during build require this version. (Other advantages are that version 5 is EOL and version 6 has both x86 and amd binaries)

Second, update the brew command to install powershell. Newer versions of brew require the directive 'cask' to be omitted. Change to

brew install powershell
pwsh

Thanks for your recommendations! You are correct, we are on .NET 6. I will update the Getting Started page for Mac. We don't have any team members that regularly run on Mac so your comments are very appreciated!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 'cask' was omitted.

brew install powershell
pwsh

Since @janakarana checked this out, I plan to update this page too: https://github.com/VirtualPhotonics/Vts.MonteCarlo/wiki/Getting-Started-on-Mac
