dnvm list

This will show you all .NET versions on your machine like below:

Active Version              Runtime Architecture OperatingSystem Alias
------ -------              ------- ------------ --------------- -----
  *    1.0.0-rc1-update1    coreclr x64          darwin          default
       1.0.0-rc1-update1    mono                 linux/osx

And choose a specific .NET version as follows:

$ dnvm use 1.0.0-rc1-update1 -r mono    # to use Mono
$ dnvm use 1.0.0-rc1-update1 -r coreclr # to use .NET Core

We want Scissorhands.NET to work on .NET Core(CoreCLR) and Mono. Please test your code enough on the both before you send a PR.
