Working with C# on Linux has started many years ago as an initiative from open source community with Mono and Omnisharp projects. After 2016, Microsoft started to work with community to bring .NET to Linux, and also Mac OS.
You can find more in Microsoft official documentation on their official site, but if you are an already experienced user you would prefer get in touch with community
This article is a briefly introduction to start working with C# and .NET in your linux computer.
DBeaver or your preferred database editor.You can install dotnet on debian like systems running, first registering the package Microsoft provider
# Get Ubuntu version
declare repo_version=$(if command -v lsb_release &> /dev/null; then lsb_release -r -s; else grep -oP '(?<=^VERSION_ID=).+' /etc/os-release | tr -d '"'; fi)
# Download Microsoft signing key and repository
wget <https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/$repo_version/packages-microsoft-prod.deb> -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
# Install Microsoft signing key and repository
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
# Clean up
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
# Update packages
sudo apt update
Then you can invoke APT to install the SDK or runtime that you need:
sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-7.0
If you need other SDK versions, you can follow the table below:
| Product | Type | Package | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0 | ASP.NET Core | Runtime | aspnetcore-runtime-7.0 |
| 7.0 | .NET | Runtime | dotnet-runtime-7.0 |
| 7.0 | .NET | SDK | dotnet-sdk-7.0 |
| 6.0 | ASP.NET Core | Runtime | aspnetcore-runtime-6.0 |
| 6.0 | .NET | Runtime | dotnet-runtime-6.0 |
| 6.0 | .NET | SDK | dotnet-sdk-6.0 |
Check if SDK is installed using the command below:
dotnet --list-sdks
You would expect the list of SDKs installed on your machine. Eg:
❯ dotnet --list-sdks
6.0.408 [/home/u89387/.dotnet/sdk]
7.0.302 [/home/u89387/.dotnet/sdk]
