Just thought I would detail the steps I followed to install .net core 2.2 on a ubuntu headless server. Microsoft have done a great job in detailing the steps required, and I have further detailed how to set up my ubuntu workstation for .net core development
I will also be automating this process in the future by writing a Bash script to do this all for me on a repeatable basis, I just wanted to ensure I got all the steps right.
All these steps are carried out via an SSH session to a ubuntu server. In my case, this is to a new ubuntu server in Azure, but the steps will be the same for any newly built and configured Ubuntu 16.X server.
I am setting up my a Production grade servers, so will be using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
. It always advisable to use LTS
releases for server in production.
Before start with following steps ensure your ubuntu server repositories list is updated and all packages have be upgraded
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Add the DotNet to the apt
repository
# In the placholder [OS Version] replace with your LTS release release number in
## i.e. 16.04 , 19.10 , 18.04 , 20.04
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/[OS Version]/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Install the .net core runtime
Install the latest .net core libraries. Get the latest link from here
xxxxxxxxxx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-3.1
Confirm you have the correct version installed
xxxxxxxxxx
dotnet --version
This should return with the version of the package we installed.
xxxxxxxxxx
3.1.300
Configure DOTNET_HOME path
We need to set the DOTNET_HOME
path. In order to find the directory dotnet has been installed to, you can use the which
command
xxxxxxxxxx
which dotnet ## Should return something similar too /usr/bin/dotnet
We can now use this path and add it to the environment variables. Open the environment variables using nano
xxxxxxxxxx
sudo nano /etc/environment
add the end of the file paste the following
xxxxxxxxxx
DOTNET_HOME="/usr/bin/dotnet"
