How to get the "dnu" command working on OS X?
Just downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code on OS X 10.10.3.
I've managed to partially follow the installation instructions for ASP.NET 5.
What I fail with is when the instruction tells me to call
dnu restore
When doing this in my terminal, it says:
-bash: dnu: command not found
I've found a somewhat similar question here on SO which unfortunately did not help me.
My question:
How can I make the "dnu" command work on OS X?
Update:
Someone marked my questions as the duplicate of the SO question I linked to by myself.
Now SO forces me to edit my question to proof that it is not a duplicate. So basically that is me right now:
I hope this satisfies the needs of SO to not close my question as a duplicate since my understanding is that it is no duplicate.
Solution 1:
To answer my own question:
What helped, was Jed Grant's comment and link to this GitHub discussion.
I did the following in a terminal:
source dnvm.sh
dnvm upgrade -u
And suddenly the "dnu" command was available so that I could run
dnu restore
As the installation instructions told me.
Solution 2:
Bit of a noob answer, but it might help someone. If you're on OS X, make sure you follow the instructions carefully! I completely missed some OS X specific instructions under the heading "Installing ASP.NET 5 and DNX". I read the heading and thought "I've already installed this".
The instructions for OS X points to:
https://github.com/aspnet/home#os-x
It says to run the following homebrew commands:
brew tap aspnet/dnx
brew update
brew install dnvm
After this succeeds, the following text is output in the console:
Add the following to the ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:
source dnvm.sh
I added it to my .bash_profile and now dnu restore works from my project directory!
In general, I found the steps on the ASP.NET 5 docs page much clearer than the Visual Studio Code page. Acronyms are explained and screenshots of many steps are present.

Solution 3:
For those trying to get this working on windows with the same problem, you just need to run dnvm upgrade from command prompt. dnu will now work.
Solution 4:
After read this issue in GitHub:
GitHub Issue
Run nano ~/.bash_profile
Add:
export PATH="~/npm-global/bin:$PATH"
source dnvm.sh
Edit: It not solve the problem at all... when I try to update the Nuget Packages using dnvm command (is the purpose of dnx restore), I have other error:
Error: Could not find latest version from feed https://nuget.org/api/v2
