You have a Mac,
When installing Visual Studio for Mac 8.4, the released version of.NET Core v3.1 will be installed. Important If you were previously using.NET Core v2.2.1xx with Visual Studio for Mac 8.0, you'll need to manually update to a supported version of.NET Core, as listed in the table above. .NET Core 3.1 downloads for Linux, macOS, and Windows.NET Core is a cross-platform version of.NET, for building apps that run on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
.Net Framwork is for Windows and normally you would have to install Windows either into BootCamp or


a virtual machine software (better,easier, not as powerful as direct install, fine if you don't need it) like VMFusion (best), Parallels Desktop (best) or the free Virtualbox (works)
But there is a Open Source .Net framework called Mono
I don't have any expereince with this, so your on your own
Perhaps that's for the developers to implement with their programs, I don't know if there is a Mac client so you can access .Net

Ask the website your visiting to do something so your Mac can also visit and use the site.
