To install additional .NET runtimes or SDKs:

dotnet new console
Could not execute because the application was not found or a compatible .NET SDK is not installed.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You intended to execute a .NET program:
      The application 'new' does not exist.
  * You intended to execute a .NET SDK command:
      It was not possible to find any installed .NET SDKs.

This was a potential issue in preview 5 but it’s fixed in GA. We think there must be some combination of installs that is leading to this hitting again until all of the versions installed on the box have the fix. Trying to track down what that combo is.
