Chapter 1. Install .NET Core 1.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using:

Register the system by following the appropriate steps in Registering and Unregistering a System in the Red Hat Subscription Management document. You can also register the system with the following command.

subscription-manager register

# subscription-manager register

Display a list of all subscriptions that are available for your system and determine the pool ID of a subscription that provides access to the .NET Core repository.

subscription-manager list --available

# subscription-manager list --available

This command displays its name, unique identifier, expiration date, and other details related to it. The pool ID is listed on a line beginning with Pool Id.

Attach the subscription that provides access to the .NET Core repository. Replace pool_id with the pool ID you determined in the previous step.

subscription-manager attach --pool=<appropriate pool ID from the above step>

# subscription-manager attach --pool=<appropriate pool ID from the above step>

Verify the list of subscriptions your system has currently attached.

subscription-manager list --consumed

# subscription-manager list --consumed

Enable the .NET Core channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. If you are using a Workstation edition of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, change -server- to -workstation- in the following command.

subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-dotnet-rpms

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-dotnet-rpms

Install the scl tool.

yum install scl-utils

# yum install scl-utils

Install .NET Core 1.0 and all of its dependencies.

yum install rh-dotnetcore10

# yum install rh-dotnetcore10

Enable the rh-dotnetcore10 collection environment.

scl enable rh-dotnetcore10 bash

$ scl enable rh-dotnetcore10 bash

This command does not persist; it creates a new shell and the dotnet command is only available within that shell. If you log out, use another shell, or open up a new terminal, the enabling does not carry over. Consider permanently enabling it.

source scl_source enable rh-dotnetcore10

$ source scl_source enable rh-dotnetcore10

Run the following command to prove the installation succeeded.

dotnet --help

$ dotnet --help

Create the following directory.

mkdir hello-world

$ mkdir hello-world

Navigate to the following directory.

cd hello-world

$ cd hello-world

Create a new .NET Core project.

dotnet new

$ dotnet new

Pull the dependencies needed for the .NET Core project.

dotnet restore

$ dotnet restore

Run the .NET Core project.

dotnet run

$ dotnet run
