Requirements

A minimum build agent version of 2.115.0 with dotnet core runtime 2.0 or later. When targeting build agents which do not have this capability, you can opt to use the dotnet installer task to satisfy this condition. An internet connection is also required for tasks to download the Octopus tools when not available on a build agent.

VSTS Build Agents

Generally the Hosted Linux, Mac and Hosted VS2017 agent queues would satisfy the dotnet core requirements, however please refer to Microsoft documentation regarding what capabilities are provided by which hosted agent pools. The Octopus tasks will automatically download, cache and use the latest version of the Octopus tools unless overridden by an installer task.

TFS Build Agents / VSTS Custom agents

Unless your build agent has the portable version of the Octopus tools in the environment path the tasks will attempt to download and cache the Octopus tools. You can avoid subsequent downloads by using a known version in an installer task at the start of your build definition.

Create an Octopus Deploy Connected Service

Before adding any Build or Release tasks to your process, configure an "Octopus Deploy" connected service in the administration section for your project.

You'll need an API Key for a user that has sufficient permissions for the tasks you want to perform in your build and release process. For example, if your build needs to create a Release for Project A, the user who owns that API key will need ReleaseCreate role either unscoped or scoped to Project A.
