Others have mentioned this but they've really migrated away from an IIS-only approach. .NET 2015 has really tried to emphasize that you don't need IIS. Take a look at some of the .NET core documentation. They're officially supporting Linux and OSX when it's released (tentatively Q1 2016...so far away) but it will "just work" out of the box.

Honestly I've found getting up and running with Mono and Kestrel really simple with the latest beta. I ran from Visual Studio without really doing anything and then switched to OSX and it worked perfectly. You still need to rely on some mono classes as of now for things that haven't been open sourced (Xml streams....) but even the mono implementations worked just fine.
