# .NET Core SDK 2.1.600 Preview - December 06, 2018

.NET Core SDK 2.1.600-preview is available for download and usage in your environment. This release includes the previously released .NET Core 2.1.6. The .NET Core SDK 2.1.600-preview matches what is included in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.0 Preview 1. All fixes of note can be seen in the [.NET Core SDK 2.1.600 Preview commits](2.1-600-preview-commits.md) list.

* [Downloads](#downloads)

The .NET Core SDK 2.1.600-preview 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 2.1.600-preview, the following command will show that you're running version `2.1.600-preview` of the tools.

`dotnet --version`

Your feedback is important and appreciated. We've created an issue at [dotnet/core #2119](https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/2119) for your questions and comments.
