Can I use Entity Framework in .NET Core?

Question

I just upgraded to the new ASP.NET 5 platform. I use the visual studio code as the default IDE and DNX to execute..NET Core is now the default, but I need to switch to the .NET Framework always, I want to reference the namespace System.Data.Entity or TodoContext class.

Can I use EF in .NET Core?

This is what I am doing right now.

EntityFramework in System.Data is version 6. If you want to use .NET Core, you need to switch to EF 7, which no longer lives in System.Data, but in EntityFramework.* Nuget packages.
