Chapter 1. Availability

Red Hat provides a distribution of .NET Core that enables developers to create applications in C#, F#, and other languages and then deploy them as RPMs or Linux containers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, or other platforms. A no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Subscription is available, including a full suite of tools for Linux container development.

The availability of .NET Core 2.0 allows Windows developers to deploy to RHEL without having to learn RHEL and to expand the reach of workloads to RHEL environments. The goal is to provide a safe introduction to a new environment and culture without risk of exposure. Now users of RHEL and RHEL-based Red Hat products can develop and run .NET Core applications directly on RHEL 7, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

.NET Core 2.0 is available as the RPM rh-dotnet20 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 in the following repositories:

Full instructions for installing .NET Core 2.0 on RHEL 7 is available in the .NET Core 2.0 Getting Started Guide.

Starting with the 2.0.5 (January 2018) update for .NET Core 2.0, a separate .NET Core SDK is available as a new package. The .NET Core 2.1 SDK is available as rh-dotnet20-dotnet-sdk-2.1. The 2.0 SDK (rh-dotnet20-dotnet-sdk-2.0) is only available for backwards compatibility.
