How to install dotnet 6 to Ubuntu?

Let’s install dotnet-sdkand dotnet-runtime to Ubuntu operating system.

There are several ways that you can install it. I’ll explain some of them.

WAY #1: Snap package

1- Use the snap install command to install dotnet-sdk snap package.

sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic --channel=6.0
sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet

You will see the following message if it’s successful:

dotnet-sdk (6.0/stable) 6.0.100 from Microsoft .NET Core (dotnetcore✓) installed

2- Install dotnet-runtime snap package.

sudo snap install dotnet-runtime-60 --classic
sudo snap alias dotnet-runtime-60.dotnet dotnet

3- Export the install location

export DOTNET_ROOT=/snap/dotnet-sdk/current

Now check that if it’s installed:

sudo dotnet --info

WAY #2: Scripted install

bash dotnet-install.sh -c Current
