These are common issues that some users will run into and how to resolve them.

NetPad cannot find my .NET SDK installation

See the .NET SDK page. If you are still having trouble please open an Issue.

If you get this message on macOS this means your system is configured to not allow unsigned apps to run. NetPad is not yet a signed application and on most macOS systems users are likely to receive this message.

To resolve this issue, open a terminal and execute:

xattr -cr /path/to/NetPad.app

NetPad will run normally afterwards. See this discussion for a tip.

NetPad does not start on Windows [Error: listen EACCES: permission denied]

If you get this message when starting NetPad on Windows, try these possible solutions:

  1. Disable then re-enable one or more of your network interfaces. See issues #159 and #111.
  2. Restart winnat. See this SO answer for details.
