manifest.json issue - new to building mods (and C#)

Hey everyone, just starting out and looking for some help. I cannot figure out where the manifest.json needs to be placed in the project structure for the Solution to build. For context, I am a CS student with a Java background (some javascript) so I have a programming background and am interested in mods. I can successfully build the Solution Items folder, but receive an error when building the main SunShowers one, as seen in the attached screenshot.
I have Visual Studio for Mac, version 17.6. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to build, I would really appreciate it!

Here is what I was trying to use in the JSON:

{
"Name": "SunShowers",
"Author": "JB",
"Version": "1.0.0",
"Description": "weather",
"UniqueID": "JB.SunShowers",
"EntryDll": "SunShowers.dll",
"MinimumApiVersion": "3.0.0",
"UpdateKeys": []
}
