Info

So happy to hear that .netcore support macOS Hight Sierra, but while I have tried that's still a big disappointment!

Final solution:

Go to default user directory cd ~, and add below export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/dotnet" line to the end of ~/.zshrc file

cd ~
vim ~/.zshrc
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/dotnet"  # Append this line to end.

Good luck!
