    So far, I was only using the basic .NET logging infrastructure so it is now time to configure the Serilog library. Serilog can be downloaded and installed as a NuGet package and because I will be using Serilog in ASP.NET Core application in this tutorial so I will also install Serilog.AspNetCore package. I will also install Serilog.Sinks.File sink from Nuget as I want to show you how to log events to files later in this tutorial. You can download and install all of these packages using the NuGet Package Manager available in Visual Studio.
