title: Running a .NET Core Console Application on Mac or Windows
body: <p>I've created a .NET Core console application. I want to build the app so that I can execute it on Windows or MacOS without dotnet core being installed on the machine. So I need e.g. for windows an exe.</p>
  
  <p>I've read <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/articles/core/tools/dotnet-publish" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/articles/core/tools/dotnet-publish</a> and I know how to compile the application for the different platform(s).</p>
  
  <p>But no executable gets created. What am I missing here and how do I accomplish my goal?</p>
