Fedora 28 : Godot example with linux .

Today I tested a simple example with the game engine named Godot version 3.0.6.
It was created on a Windows 8.1 operating system and exported as a linux application.
I moved the two files to the Fedora 28 operating system.
[mythcat@desk Godot_test_001]$ ll

The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/usr/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll' directory.
The error occurred from the mono package and I fixed it with the installation using the dnf tool.
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install mono-core.x86_64
