How to run a project in Jetbrain's Rider IDE?

I've started to learn c# recently and I really like the Jetbrains IDEs, so I decided to pick up Rider in it's early developement phase. Since it's a brand new environment I could barely find any information about it at all.

My problem is I simply cannot run my project, I have Mono installed and I gave it's path to the IDE but it still sais "no projects to run".

Do I need something aside Mono? Or what would you recommend me to check?

Create a new project:

New project

Write your code:

My file

Press Ctrl + F5 and you should see this window:

Configuration

Now simply click on Run. The next time you need to build it, you won't see the configuration settings, but it will still run the project. :)
