How to Run C# Project Under Linux

How to run C# project under Linux

You're looking for the Mono Project - a cross-platform (but primarily targeted at Linux) implementation of the .NET Framework and CLR. It's capable of running binaries compiled for the CLR (MS .NET), or of creating its own native Linux binaries.

The project has been going a while now, and it's current version (2.4) is very usable, even for production purposes. See the project roadmap for details of the main features and milestones of current and future releases.

Details about the current state:

The great majority of the BCL (Base Class Library) is available on Mono, with the exception of some of the .NET 3.0/3.5 stuff, such as WPF (which has minimal support currently) and WCF (almost non-existent support). Silverlight 2.0 is however being supported via the Moonlight project, and progress on that is going well. WinForms functionality (which uses GTK# as a backend) is however quite complete, as far as I know.

Implementation of the C# 3.0 language is effectively complete, including the C# 3.0 features such as lambda expressions, LINQ, and automatic properties. I believe the C# compiler is mature to the point that its efficiency is at least comparable with that of the MS compiler, though not yet matching it in some respects. What's quite cool (and unique) about the Mono C# compiler is that is now offers a compiler service - in other words true dynamic compilation from code (without using the CodeDOM). This is something that MS will perhaps only add in .NET 5.0.

Run Microsoft Visual Studio C# project in Linux

Many step are required in order to run this project.

First delete global.json file and then run dotnet migrate and remove the backup directory.

(Optional) In some case you will need to clean the solution. If DotNetWallet.xproj and project.json are still there, remove it and run the twxo following command.

• dotnet sln remove src/DotNetWallet/DotNetWallet.xsproj
• dotnet sln add src/DotNetWallet/DotNetWallet.csproj

Then, remove the first line (using DotNetWallet.KeyManagement;) from FakeData.cs file. This is an unused using statment. there are no impact to remove it.

Now, you can run dotnet restore, dotnet build then dotnet test.

Run c# visual studio project in windows, created in ubuntu

The easiest solution: create new, empty console app and paste content (.cs) files from linux repo to it. Build and compile.
Remember to resolve conflicts which may occur (libs used in linux environment may be problematic in windows).

Run C# code on linux terminal

Of course it can be done and the process is extremely simple.

Here I am explaining the steps for Ubuntu Linux.

Open terminal:

Ctrl + Alt + T

Type

gedit hello.cs

In the gedit window that opens paste the following example code:

using System;
class HelloWorld {
  static void Main() {
    Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
  }
}

Save and close gedit.

Back in terminal type:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mono-complete
mcs -out:hello.exe hello.cs
mono hello.exe

Output:

Hello World!

Can any c# application be run on linux

Update for 2020

.NET Core and .NET Framework are being merged together into ".NET 5". For all intents and purposes, this is just the next version of .NET Core (and .NET Framework is going away).

WPF still only runs on windows (though a universal XAML based UI system is in development), even though its running on .NET Core/5, and you still have to build specifically for Linux for supported project types, but the cross platform support is much better than when I originally wrote this.

Original

For .NET code to be able to run on Linux, you need a version of .NET that is compatible with that platform.

Full .NET is windows-only, but there is the Mono framework which runs on Linux. .NET Core is also being ported to linux.

Neither Mono or .NET Core supports the entirety of standard .NET. For example, neither will let you run a WPF application. So as long as your code is compatible with one of the aforementioned frameworks; yes, you can run it on Linux.

For your specific example, the classes you mention should be supported, and I don't think you'll have any trouble running under either Mono or .NET Core.

How to I run a file on ubuntu which i compiled with Visual Studio on Windows for Linux

You could flag your file as executable:

cd you_vs_code_foler/bin/Release/net6.0/publish/linux-x64

chmod +x your_programm

./your_programm

If you need to install .NET runtime at Ubuntu: try this:

sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-runtime-6.0

How can I compile C# code on Linux terminal?

to compile a C# file, you need to have dotnet installed, here is a link with the info on how to install it. Dotnet
Then you go to where the file is and put dotnet run without <>
Although it is highly recommended that you create a project first and paste your code into the Program.cs file. This way you will avoid unnecessary headaches.
