Visual Studio C#: dotnet run Couldn't find project to run

Hi I'm new to programming and am trying to run a C# project in Visual Studio 2019. The project runs fine when I press the run button at the top of the window but the issue is I need it to run using dotnet run but I get the error Couldn't find project to run. Ensure a project exists in C:\directories

I have to get it to run this way because I am trying to create a program that can take user input. Currently I'm watching a tutorial series so I am trying to use Console.Readline();

I can provide more information if necessary, I am new to programming and am not exactly sure what information someone may need to help me.

Thank you.
