This blog demonstrates .Net installation and how to build a .Net based application on Oracle Linux in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). .NET is an open source software framework for building cross-platform applications on Oracle Linux. With .Net, you can build various applications in supported languages such as C#, F#, and Visual basic.
Use the following steps to install .NET SDK and runtime on Oracle Linux 8 and build a simple web application on Oracle Linux.
Step 1
Create an Oracle Linux 8 instance in OCI and install the following packages. Ensure that these libraries are installed in Oracle Linux.
- krb5-libs
- libicu
- openssl-libs
- zlib
Step 2
Verify the prerequisites and ensure that system meets the .NET dependencies and requirements highlighted in red.
Step 3
Open a terminal and run the following commands to extract the downloaded .NET SDK:
# cd /opt/dotnet
# mkdir 5.0
# mkdir dotnetapp
# tar xvzf dotnet-sdk-5.0.407-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /var/opt/5.0/Step 4
Run the dotnet command in the terminal, which verifies that .NET is correctly installed. Check the .Net version, SDK, and runtimes.
$ dotnet --list-sdks
5.0.407 [/opt/dotnet/5.0/sdk]
$ dotnet --list-runtimes
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 5.0.16 [/opt/dotnet/5.0/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 5.0.16 [/opt/dotnet/5.0/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Step 5
Let’s build the first C# application in Oracle Linux 8. The “dotnet new console”
command creates a Console application and “-o”
create a directory.
The main file in the mydotnet5.0App folder is called Program.cs, I modified Program.cs. By default, it contains the necessary code to write “Hello, World!” to the Console.
Let’s test and run the C# application. Go to mydotnet5.0App directory and run the command, $ dotnet run.
Step 6
Now let’s create the ASP.NET web application.
Run the ASP.NET web application.
Run ASP.NET web application on your web browser.
