I tested the
JetBrains Rider, the emerging .NET I.D.E. from JetBrains in the past.
Is good and this is new into the I.D.E. area of development.
What is this software?
The JetBrains Rider is a new .NET I.D.E. based on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper.
First I take a look into my Fedora distro to see it is something about JetBrains:
[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf search jetbrains

I download the archive from
the official website. I extract all files ...
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ cd Rider-171.3085.362/bin/

After that, I started with
rider.sh script:
[mythcat@localhost bin]$ ./rider.sh
