Step 3: Get Started
Now that you've got .NET installed, let's build your first app with our step-by-step tutorial.
Install SDK
When your download completes, open a terminal and run the following commands to extract the SDK and make the commands available at the terminal.
mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet && tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.319-win-x86.exe -C $HOME/dotnet
export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnetThe previous commands will only make the .NET SDK commands available for the terminal session in which it was run.
You can edit your shell profile to permanently add the commands. There are several different shells available for Linux and each has a different profile. For example:
- Bash Shell: ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc
- Korn Shell: ~/.kshrc or .profile
- Z Shell: ~/.zshrc or .zprofile
Edit the appropriate source file for your shell and add :$HOME/dotnet to the end of the existing PATH statement. If no PATH statement is included, add a new line with export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet.
Also add export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet to the end of the file.
