    ## What helped me

    1. install dotnet
    2. remove existing dotnet link if exists: ` cd /usr/local/bin && ls && sudo rm -rf dotnet`
    3. create a new link: `ln -s /usr/local/share/dotnet/x64/dotnet /usr/local/bin/`

    To uninstall dotnet core from macOS:

    - download dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh from https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/main/scripts/obtain/uninstall/dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh
    - make dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh executable
    - execute dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh as root (requires superuser privileges to run).

    ```
    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/sdk/main/scripts/obtain/uninstall/dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh
    chmod u+x dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh
    sudo ./dotnet-uninstall-pkgs.sh
    ```
