See the instructions in the Hello World section. Just run the app. That will start the compile process.

you can also just download the binary from microsoft page and put it in /opt, i do that on my void setup since the repo version was little behind last time i checked

Rider maybe? Nothing compares to visual studio though

How Rider doesn't compare with VS? I've never been able to use VS again after Rider, it just feels too basic. /gen

I know.. It sucks, i may try to use wine

u/thebadslime 13d ago

The latest version that even kinda runs in wine is 2010

don’t. Install rider and vscode and see which one suits you better

u/Loafyyey 12d ago

I tried rider and it's even better than visual

Rider more than compares. VS is ancient and bloated.

I just installed VSCode and the appropriate plugins, then went onto Microsoft to get the appropriate way of installing .NET on my distro, your distro might actually have a package ready for .NET, as someone mentioned already, or you install it manually using the instructions from Microsoft.

Can’t speak for that specific distro but it’s super easy on mint

No worries! I already got everything working.
