.Net 6 is End of support November 12, 2024 (2 months from now).

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/dotnet-core

VRChat Creator Companions CLI has a hard requirement on .Net 6

https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/cli

Using the current version (.Net 8) results in an error saying .Net 6 is needed.

You must install or update .NET to run this application.

App: /home/username/.dotnet/tools/vpm
Architecture: x64
Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '6.0.0' (x64)
.NET location: /usr/lib/dotnet

Note for anyone finding this after it's removed from package managers, .Net is currently still downloadable through https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, we're aware that support for .Net 6 is ending soon and we're going to be upgrading.

If we don't update before the end date - we'll update the docs with the download links for older versions. But hopefully it won't come to that.

VCC and VCC CLI are moving to .NET 6 with VCC 2.4.0 (next major release)

[orels1]

There is a new pre-release of the CLI available that uses .NET 8

You can get it here https://www.nuget.org/packages/VRChat.VPM.CLI#versions-body-tab or using the following command

dotnet tool install -g VRChat.VPM.CLI --version 0.1.28-beta.1

If you could try this out and confirm that this works correctly for you as well, that would be very appreciated!

It works, thank you! Here's the list of steps I used to verify:

Remove sdk-6.0 sdk and runtime

sudo apt remove --purge dotnet-sdk-6.0 sudo apt remove --purge dotnet-runtime-6.0

dotnet --list-runtimes

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 8.0.8 [/usr/lib/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App] Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.8 [/usr/lib/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

Note no dotnet 6.

Verify the current version no longer works in my environment by doing a fresh install and running:

dotnet tool uninstall --global vrchat.vpm.cli

Tool 'vrchat.vpm.cli' (version '0.1.27') was successfully uninstalled.

dotnet tool install --global vrchat.vpm.cli
