Install .NET 5 in Linux(and ARM) step by step

.NET 5.0 in Ubuntu(WSL)

Step 1

Get dotnet 5 SDK from official site

wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/820db713-c9a5-466e-b72a-16f2f5ed00e2/628aa2a75f6aa270e77f4a83b3742fb8/dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz

To install ARM version dotnet 5.0, use this

wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/27840e8b-d61c-472d-8e11-c16784d40091/ae9780ccda4499405cf6f0924f6f036a/dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Step 2

Make a folder dotnet-arm64 folder, then unzip the file to it.

mkdir dotnet-64
tar zxf dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C $HOME/dotnet-64

Step 3

To make the dotnet command run everywhere, put new path ahead of $PATH to increase the priority. In case that you already installed .NET 3.1. the new installed dotnet version 5 will override the original dotnet version 3.1.

export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet-64
export PATH=$HOME/dotnet-64:$PATH

Step 4

Check the installation

dotnet --info

Note: I am installing dotnet 5 in Windows 10 WSL Ubuntu.
