Errors creating ASP.NET Core 1 application

Question

I have VS2015 and I am attempting to create an ASP.NET Core 1.0 application.

I select the template and also leave the defaults (host in azure and identity security set to individual).

I enter the details for the Azure instance and then when the project loads in VS2015 it errors straight away against DNX 4.5.1 and DNX Core 5.0. I have tried package restore but no luck. in the project.json file I have:

  {
    "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { },
    "dnxcore50": { }
  },

NU002: The dependency Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.6 in project MyTest does not support framework dnx version 4.5.3 Which is strange as you can see that the framework in the project and in my references says dnx 4.5.1 There are another 3 errors like this. 2 against dnx 451 and 2 against dnxcore4,0 — bilpor
NU002: The dependency Remotion.linq 2.0.1 in project MyTest does not support framework DNXCore Version 5.0 The above error is also against this file and this error is also against the above file making the 4 errors. — bilpor
Do you have any class library in your project ? If yes, in which .NET framework version ? — AdrienTorris
Is there a reason because you use the version 6.0.6 of Newtonsoft.Json ? Last stable version is 8.0.3. — AdrienTorris

@Adrien got me onto the right track. I used the Nuget command line to install the latest release for Newtonsoft.Json. It successfully installed and I could see the change to the version in the project.json file. However I still had the same error displaying. Although it had updated the main file, the project.lock.json file didn't get it's references updated at the same time. I had to close my project and re-open before the reference change took effect to the lock file.
