Unable to run the code : New to C# and .net

[aashish-amber-abz]

This question might sound very basic/stupid but I am very new to c# and. net , I installed VS code and opened the downloaded symspell project code in it. Now how can i run the demo ?

In problems it shows the error:- The type 'List<>' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'. [SymSpell.Test]

When i try to run the SegmentationDemo by ctr+f5 it gives error :-

Unhandled Exception: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform.
at System.ConsolePal.set_WindowWidth(Int32 value)
at symspell.Benchmark.Benchmark.Main(String[] args) in /Users/aashishamber/Downloads/SymSpell-master/SymSpell.Benchmark/SymSpell.Benchmark.cs:line 52

Kindly help how to run the code.

/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/2.1.401/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1179,5): error MSB3644: The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies. Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend. [/Users/aashishamber/Downloads/SymSpell-master/SymSpell/SymSpell.csproj]

1. On which Operating System you are testing? If anything other than Windows try to comment out the lines 53...55 (Console resize is probably not supported on your platform):
   /*
   Console.WindowWidth = Math.Min(160, Console.LargestWindowWidth);
   Console.WindowHeight = Math.Min(80, Console.LargestWindowHeight);
   Console.BufferWidth = 800;
   Console.BufferHeight = 10000;
   */

2. Make sure you have the latest version of the .NET SDK installed: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download

3. Type "dotnet restore" in the terminal window of Visual Studio Code before first build

netstandard2.0

and commented out the piece of code you suggested and is running code by pressing ctrl+f5 in visual studio code but is still getting this error in debug console

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot read keys when either application does not have a console or when console input has been redirected. Try Console.Read.

Also the Output tab in visual studio code has this error :-
