Answer 1

If you are using Mac (OS X) or any supported distribution of Linux, you have to run:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator --version 2.2.3

Additionally, on Mac I added to my .zshrc (or bash equivalent)

export PATH=$HOME/.dotnet/tools:$PATH

And I had to make sure to restart Terminal.
