Installing .NET Core on Linux

Before installing .NET, you will need to register the Microsoft key, register the product repository, and install required dependencies. This only needs to be done once per machine. Refer to Setting up Linux for .NET Core for the requirements.

The commands listed below do not specifically include package managers to help with readability. Here are the package managers typically used by the Distros on which .NET Core is supported.

Distro Package Manager
CentOS, Oracle yum
Debian, Ubuntu apt-get
Fedora dnf
OpenSUSE, SLES zypper

Installation from a binary archive

Installing from the packages detailed above is recommended or you can install from binary archive, if that better suits your needs. When using binary archives to install, the contents must be extracted to a user location such as $HOME/dotnet, a symbolic link created for dotnet and a few dependencies installed. Dependency requirements can be seen in the Linux System Prerequisites document.

mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet && tar zxf dotnet.tar.gz -C $HOME/dotnet
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
