Docker

Images for .NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 1 are available on Docker.

Installation from a binary archive

When using binary archives to install, we recommend the contents be extracted to /opt/dotnet and a symbolic link created for dotnet. If an earlier release of .NET Core is already installed, the directory and symbolic link may already exist. Ubuntu and Mint users should follow the instructions in the Ubuntu Installation section below.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/dotnet
sudo tar zxf [tar.gz filename] -C /opt/dotnet
sudo ln -s /opt/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin

Ubuntu installation

Note: The Ubuntu packages are not yet available through the package feed. We are investigating and hope to have them available soon. In the meantime, you can use the Linux binary archives listed in the table above.

Add the dotnet apt-get feed

The first step is to establish the source feed for the package manager. This is only needed if you have not previously set up the source or if you are installing for the first time.

Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint 17

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 417A0893

Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 417A0893

Ubuntu 16.10

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ yakkety main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

Install .NET Core 2.0 Preview 1

To install .NET Core 2.0 Preview on Ubuntu or Linux Mint, simply use apt-get.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-2.0.0-preview1-005977

Windows Server Hosting

If you are looking to host stand-alone apps on Windows Servers, the ASP.NET Core Module for IIS can be installed separately on servers without installing .NET Core runtime. You can download the Windows (Server Hosting) installer and run the following command from an Administrator command prompt:

DotNetCore.2.0.0-Preview1-WindowsHosting.exe

ASP.NET Core Package Store

The Runtime Package Store is installed by the .NET Core SDK and the Windows Server Hosting installer. If you need to install the Runtime Package Store separately, the following can be used.
