The dotnet tool list command provides a way for you to list .NET global, tool-path, or local tools installed on your machine. The command lists the package name, version installed, and the tool command. To use the command, you specify one of the following:

• To list global tools installed in the default location, use the --global option
• To list global tools installed in a custom location, use the --tool-path option.
• To list local tools, use the --local option or omit the --global, --tool-path, and --local options.
• To list a specific tool, use the optional PACKAGE_ID argument.

• PACKAGE_ID

  Lists the tool that has the supplied package ID if the tool is installed. Can be used in conjunction with options. Provides a way to check if a specific tool was installed. If no tool with the specified package ID is found, the command lists headings with no detail rows. The command always returns 0.

• -g|--global

  Lists user-wide global tools. Can’t be combined with the --tool-path option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.

• -?|-h|--help

  Prints out a description of how to use the command.

• --local

  Lists local tools for the current directory. Can’t be combined with the --global or --tool-path options. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools even if --local is not specified.

• --tool-path <PATH>

  Specifies a custom location where to find global tools. PATH can be absolute or relative. Can’t be combined with the --global option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.

• dotnet tool list -g

  Lists all global tools installed user-wide on your machine (current user profile).

• dotnet tool list --tool-path c:\global-tools

  Lists the global tools from a specific Windows directory.

• dotnet tool list --tool-path ~/bin

  Lists the global tools from a specific Linux/macOS directory.

• dotnet tool list or dotnet tool list --local
