You will find all of your answers at the official docs of ASP.NET 5. Here's the link: http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/getting-started/index.html

But let me just give you a briefly explanation:

• DNX is a SDK and a runtime environment for creating .NET applications for Windows, Mac and Linux. Basically it allows the cross-platform development using the .NET 5 Core.
• DNU is the .NET Development Utility. It allows you to build, package and publish projects created with DNX.
• DNVM is the .NET Version Manager. It is basically a set of command line instructions which allow you to configure your .NET Runtime.
