Error when Deploying Commerce Engine

Question

I am setting Sitecore Commerce on my machine. At the Deploy Commerce Engine stage Link . On the dotnet restore command, I am getting this error where it says AspNetCore.OData is not compatible.

Errors in C:\\Users\\xxxx\\Downloads\\SitecoreCommerce8.2.1_1.0.20\\Sitecore.Commerce.SDK.1.0.2301\\Sitecore.Commerce.Engine\\project.json Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData 6.0.0-alpha1-rtm-171013 is not compatible with net452 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2). Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData 6.0.0-alpha1-rtm-171013 supports: net461 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1) One or more packages are incompatible with .NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2.

I checked in the gobal.json in Sitecore.Commerce.SDK and the Core version matches the Dotnet SDK version "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003121"

I have .net 4.5,4.6.1 and 4.6.2 installed on my machine.

Adding the cmd file log for refrence

Answer 1

The project.json file on Sitecore.Commerce.SDK.1.0.2301\\Sitecore.Commerce.Engine has dependencies set like this:

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData": "6.0.0-alpha1-rtm-*"

Unfortunately, the latest version (171013) seems to require a higher version of .NET

edit the file and make specify a lower version

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData": "6.0.0-alpha1-rtm-121216"
