    Hi @AlAsadiBassam-4916,

    I'm assuming you ran git clone https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-commercial-marketplace-SaaS-offer-billing-SDK.git -b main --depth 1 as per instructed. The error message is related to a missing file project.assets.json that lists all dependencies of the projects inside the solution. To fix it, from a command line pathed into the solution directory, you can run dotnet restore. This will restore the nuget packages for all the projects in the solution. You can also perform this inside Visual Studio by right clicking on the solution and selected Restore Nuget Packages from the context menu. You can read more about the functionality on Nuget Package Restore
