Having trouble making sure I have the latest version of .NET Core installed

I installed .NET Core on my Mac following this guide: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

The guide says I am installing .NET Core 1.1. All the latest documentation I am studying says.NET Core 1.1 is the latest, project.json is dead and so is .xproj. No problem, I do not care that I still gotta read some xml with .csproj, we do not live in a perfect world.

But the installation says that I am installing .NET Core 1.0.3, not 1.1: enter image description here

And from terminal: enter image description here

So I am confused, looks like .NET Core 1.0.3 to me, not 1.1. Perhaps on Windows the latest version is .NET Core 1.1?

Don't confuse version of .NET Core and .NET Core SDK. You have SDK 1.0.3

To check .NET version, you run in cmd:

dotnet

enter image description here

Please see this version explanation:

When you are at the dotnet command line (aka the CLI aka Command Line Interface) and type ‘dotnet’ you will be shown the version of the runtime.

When you add the version parameter (‘dotnet –version’) that will return the version of the SDK (aka CLI aka Command Line Interface) that you are working with.
