✅ Dotnet SDK install problems

I used the install script from MS, and followed the troubleshooting steps given in the dotnet-vsc gh repo. I am still getting no output from which dotnet, but you can clearly see an exe dotnet in ~/.dotnet. Am I missing something?

Does dotnet --info output anything?

Damon•4mo ago

Command not found

mtreit•4mo ago

Is that linux?

Damon•4mo ago

Yeah

mtreit•4mo ago

I just did this on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0

And it worked fine for me. I mainly use Windows however.

Damon•4mo ago

That will probably work. Curious why that wasnt the command on the MS help page 🤔

mtreit•4mo ago

Which page?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/core/install/linux-scripted-manual#scripted-install

Install .NET on Linux without using a package manager - .NET

Demonstrates how to install the .NET SDK and the .NET Runtime on Linux without a package manager. Use the install script or manually extract the binaries.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not sure why that wouldn't work either. But if you are installing it yourself you can probably just use apt

Damon•4mo ago

That's worked now. Thanks for you help

because you are on the page named "install .NET on linux without using a package manager" so the method which installs .NET using a package manager is not listed

Damon•4mo ago

Oh oops, I clicked the wrong link out of this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/core/install/linux?WT.mc_id=dotnet-35129-website

was ~/.dotnet on your PATH?

Damon•4mo ago

Yes, the installer bash script adds it to path

jcotton42•4mo ago

that's not what I ~~asked~~ meant was it in $PATH in your shell's session? b/c that's all the matters, if you didn't restart your shell or the script did something wrong it wouldn't have been on PATH

Damon•4mo ago

I didn't check and that session is long since gone, so I can't verify one way or the other Though I wouldve thought which wouldve found the exe in the pwd

reflectronic•4mo ago

it does not, it only looks in PATH so, it must not have been in PATH which makes sense, because the dotnet-install script does not add dotnet to PATH. it is not meant to be used as a general-purpose installer

Damon•4mo ago

bin_path="$(get_absolute_path "$(combine_paths "$install_root" "$bin_folder_relative_path")")"
if [ "$no_path" = false ]; then
    say "Adding to current process PATH: \`$bin_path\`. Note: This change will be visible only when sourcing script."
    export PATH="$bin_path":"$PATH"
else
    say "Binaries of dotnet can be found in $bin_path"
fi

bin_path="$(get_absolute_path "$(combine_paths "$install_root" "$bin_folder_relative_path")")"
if [ "$no_path" = false ]; then
    say "Adding to current process PATH: \`$bin_path\`. Note: This change will be visible only when sourcing script."
    export PATH="$bin_path":"$PATH"
else
    say "Binaries of dotnet can be found in $bin_path"
fi

Did I misinterpret this part?

reflectronic•4mo ago

well. if you started a new session then it'd be gone

Damon•4mo ago

At that time it was the same session when which failed to find Anyhow, no matter - all is resolved
