Linux package dependencies

.NET 5 has several dependencies that must be satisfied to run .NET apps. The commands to install these libraries are listed for multiple Linux distributions.

Feel free to contribute packages for distributions not (yet) listed in this document, including ones not supported by the .NET Team.

Tips:

• runtime-deps container images installs these same packages. You can look at those dockerfiles.
• pkgs.org is a useful site for searching for packages, to find the one for your distribution.

Packages

.NET depends on the following packages.

• GNU C Library (glibc)
• GNU C++ Library
• GCC low-level runtime library
• ICU
• Kerberos
• Open SSL
• zlib compression library

You do not need to install ICU if you enable globalization invariant mode.

If your app relies on https endpoints, you’ll also need to install ca-certificates.
