At this moment, VC is running on .NET Core 3.1. But I can find how to run it on .NET 5.

This post explains how to run Virto Commerce on .NET Core 5.0.

1. Create a fork from [VirtoCommerce/vc-platform: VirtoCommerce Platform repository (github.com)](https://github.com/VirtoCommerce/vc-platform).

2. Update the project file’s [Target Framework Moniker (TFM)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/frameworks) to `net5.0`.

```xml
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
- <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
+ <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

```

I updated theses files:

1. Delete `bin` and `obj` folders. **If you build the platform before**.

2. Open `VirtoCommerce.Platform.sln` in Visual Studio 2019.

3. Build vc-platform.

1. Run vc-platform
