Can't install ASP.NET Core SDK on Mac

I'm trying to install the ASP.NET Core 2.0 API on my MacBook Pro.

I've downloaded both dotnet-sdk-2.0.2-osx-x64.pkg and dotnet-sdk-2.0.2-osx-gs-x64.pkg and when I try to launch either of them an installer dialog is displayued that just reads:

Verifying "dotnet-sdk-2.0.2-osx-x64.pkg"

or

Verifying "dotnet-sdk-2.0.2-osx-gs-x64.pkg"

but nothing further happens.

I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and have all of the latest updates for Visual Studio installed.

I can't locate any further information or instructions for installation. Please help.

From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/macos-prerequisites?tabs=netcore2x:

.NET Core 2.x is supported on the following versions of macOS: macOS 10.12 "Sierra" and later versions

Looks like it might be time to upgrade to Sierra. That represents a change from the 1.1 requirements, which supported El Capitan.

FWIW I'm running Sierra on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and it performs just fine.
