      sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https && \
      sudo apt update && \
      sudo apt install -y dotnet-sdk-6.0

Install other versions

  • To install other versions, use this format {product}-{type}-{version}.

  • Available values are:

    • For product: dotnet, aspnetcore
    • For type: sdk, runtime
    • For version: 6.0, 5.0, 3.1, 3.0, 2.1

Check all installed .NET

  • To list all installed .NET SDK on your computer, run:

    $ dotnet --list-sdks

  • Example output:

    3.1.407 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
    5.0.101 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
    6.0.100 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]

Optionally install .NET preview version with Snap tool

  • Run the following command to install the latest .NET Core SDK:
    $ sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --channel=6.0/beta --classic
  • Wait several minutes until the installation has finished.
  • The default .NET Core command is dotnet-sdk.dotnet for not conflict with a globally installed .NET Core version that you may have.
  • You can also set its alias to dotnet with sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet and remove it with sudo snap unalias dotnet.
  • Run dotnet-sdk.dotnet --version, you should find 6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13 or a newer version of .NET.
  • You can now use .NET project which installed with Snap.
