DESCRIPTION

The dotnet tool list command provides a way for you to list .NET global, tool-path, or local tools installed on your machine. The command lists the package name, version installed, and the tool command. To use the command, you specify one of the following:

•: To list global tools installed in the default location, use the --global option
•: To list global tools installed in a custom location, use the --tool-path option.
•: To list local tools, use the --local option or omit the --global, --tool-path, and --local options.
•: To list a specific tool, use the optional PACKAGE_ID argument.

ARGUMENTS

•: PACKAGE_ID

Lists the tool that has the supplied package ID if the tool is installed. Can be used in conjunction with options. Provides a way to check if a specific tool was installed. The command returns 1 if no tool with the specified package ID is found; returns 0 otherwise.

OPTIONS

•: -g|--global

Lists user-wide global tools. Can’t be combined with the --tool-path option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.

•: -?|-h|--help

Prints out a description of how to use the command.

•: --local

Lists local tools for the current directory. Can’t be combined with the --global or --tool-path options. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools even if --local is not specified.

•: --tool-path <PATH>

Specifies a custom location where to find global tools. PATH can be absolute or relative. Can’t be combined with the --global option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.
