Package Management
- Most Linux distributions use a package manager
- Everything is a package - from your kernel to the software that you use
- Debian-based distributions use
apt
Mono
- Mono is the .NET runtime on Linux
- Mono isn't available in the default
aptrepositories on Ubuntu - ...so we need to add a new apt repository!
- https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/
Installation
- We have the
aptrepository - Now we can install
Mono sudo apt install mono-devel
Usage
- The Linux terminal is very similar to the Windows command prompt
- If you've got some C♯ code in a Visual Studio solution already, download that now
- Otherwise, use a text editor to write a quick program
- On Linux, we can use
cscandmsbuildjust like we do on Windows
Usage (cont.)
csc MyFile.csmsbuild
Monodevelop
What's Monodevelop?
- Writing C♯ code in a text editor is old-school
- Like Visual Studio, but on Linux
- Actually the base of Visual Studio for Mac
Installing
- Same prodecure as with Mono
- Challenge: Can you install Monodevelop using what you've learnt?
- https://www.monodevelop.com/download/
