.NET Core is a general purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub. It is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS and Linux, and can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios. This is a *metapackage*, which installs the latest release of .NET Runtime across all versions (it is effectively an alias for the [dotnet-runtime](https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnet-runtime) package). The .NET Runtime is required to run .NET console applications. For running .NET desktop applications, install the [dotnet-desktopruntime](https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnet-desktopruntime) package. For running ASP.NET Core applications on IIS or IIS Express, install the [dotnet-windowshosting](https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnet-windowshosting) package. For developing .NET applications, install the [dotnet-sdk](https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnet-sdk) package.
