C# is a strong-type, multiparadigm programming language developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET platform.

Its syntax is object-oriented and was based on C++, but it includes many influences from other programming languages, such as Object Pascal and, mainly, Java, the latter being its biggest competitor.

In this article we will see how to install on any Distribution GNU/Linux .

01. Download the Bash installation script

With wget

wget https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh

or with cURL

curl -LO https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh

02. Give execute permission with sudo or root

sudo chmod +x ./dotnet-install.sh

03. Run the script to install the latest version

./dotnet-install.sh --version latest

04. Enable CSharp for all users

Although it’s optional, it’s good to make the command global, this will be good for many circumstances!

sudo mv ./.dotnet/ /opt/dotnet

05. Enter the binary path to your $PATH and for CSharp to find the root document

Run the three commands below in order:

echo -e '\nexport DOTNET_ROOT=/opt/dotnet' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dotnet:/opt/dotnet/tools' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
source /etc/profile

06. Test the dotnet command

dotnet --version
dotnet --help

07. Create a test Hello, World!, and run it!

Create a new project

dotnet new console -o HelloWorld

Enter the project, compile and run:

cd HelloWorld
dotnet build
dotnet run
