Which .NET 6?

[PhoenixofMT]

There are a few dozen download options on the linked page. Should I choose from the Runtime options? The Desktop Runtime options? Do I need the SDK? Maybe it's one of the three different sub-versions?

So far, this is all I can do:

> dotnet tool install --global haveibeenpwned-downloader
The command could not be loaded, possibly because:
  * You intended to execute a .NET application:
      The application 'tool' does not exist.
  * You intended to execute a .NET SDK command:
      No .NET SDKs were found.

Top left corner of the downloads box, the latest version of the SDK should work in theory

This should be directly said that SDK is needed, not runtime on the main page

Yes.

It bothers me too

Same here. Tried runtime 6 on debian - and failed to start. Added nuget on debian - still failed.
Installed runtime on windows - failed again.
Looked at the issues and luckily found this one.

Please update the instructions. its not intuitive that installing and running requires the development kit ...

Yea.... It took me a while of trial and error to figure this out too. Not the first time a developer created half-baked instructions that only worked for other developers, who, realistically dont even read these because they just magically know how to do these things. I dont, and incomplete or faulty instructions are the bane of my existence with FOSS software....
