Creating an ASP.NET Core application in Ubuntu to use the library

We will be creating an ASP.NET Core application to use the library in this recipe. ASP.NET Core will be using the MVC design pattern, as well as working in Linux, macOS, and, of course, in Windows. We will be using Ubuntu as the operating system for building this small app to demonstrate the cross-platform capabilities of .NET Core.
