Register Microsoft key and feed
Before installing .NET, you‘ll need to register the Microsoft key, register the product repository, and install required dependencies. This only needs to be done once per machine.
Open a command prompt and run the following commands:
wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Install .NET SDK
Update the products available for installation, then install the .NET SDK.
In your command prompt, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aspnetcore-runtime-2.1
The previous command will install the .NET Core Hosting Bundle, which includes the .NET Core runtime and the ASP.NET Core runtime. To install just the .NET Core runtime, use the dotnet-runtime-2.1 package.
