# .NET Core SDK 2.1.502 - December 11, 2018

.NET Core SDK 2.1.502 is available for download and usage in your environment. This release includes the previously released .NET Core 2.1.6. The .NET Core SDK 2.1.502 matches what is included in [Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.4](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes#15.9.4).
All fixes of note can be seen in the [.NET Core 2.1.502 commits](2.1.502-commits.md) list.

* [Downloads](#downloads)

The .NET Core SDK 2.1.502 includes .NET Core 2.1.6 Runtime so downloading the runtime packages separately is not needed when installing the SDK. After installing the .NET Core SDK 2.1.502, the following command will show that you're running version `2.1.502` of the tools.

`dotnet --version`

Your feedback is important and appreciated. We've created an issue at [dotnet/core #2134](https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/2134) for your questions and comments.
