I want to compile and run C# project on Mac OS server. There's no GUI to use, so I need to compile and run it from terminal.
I copied the directory of my C# project from my local to the server.(My C# project was created by visual studio for mac.)
On the server, I have already installed mono. I can compile and run the basic C# code 'hello world!' by mcs Program.cs and mono Program.exe but I cannot compile and run my project.
