## Build this project Locally

You can build this project locally either using Docker or using .NET CLI tools.

### 1. using Docker with Linux containers

![global tool in docker](./global-tool-in-docker.gif)

```PowerShell

docker build -t global-tool-test .

docker run -it global-tool-test bash

root@7a5df30fefaa:/src/tools# ./stat sd -n 1 2 3

Population Standard Deviation: 0.816496580927726

    Sample Standard Deviation: 1

root@7a5df30fefaa:/src/tools# ./stat avg -n 1 2 3

Arithmetic Average: 2

root@7a5df30fefaa:/src/tools# exit

# can rebuild the project using bash commands in the container

```

### 2. using `dotnet cli`

```PowerShell

cd StatisticsToolbox

dotnet pack

dotnet tool install --add-source .nuget\ stat --tool-path .\tools

dotnet tool update --add-source .nuget\ stat --tool-path .\tools

.\tools\stat.exe avg  -n 1

.\tools\stat.exe sd  -n 1 2 3

```
