Fedora 34 : Test with the new .NET 6.0 SDK.

Now Fedora 34 distro comes integrated in the repo with DotNet 5.

Today I tested DotNet 6.

Let's create a new folder for the .NET 6.0 SDK .

[mythcat@desk ~]$ mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd dotnet/

First open your browser and download the .NET 6.0 SDK from the official website.

[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ls
dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz

Use the following commands to extract the SDK and make the commands available at the terminal.

[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz  -C $HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet
[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Let's see the content of the dotnet folder:

[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ls
dotnet							sdk
dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13-linux-x64.tar.gz	sdk-manifests
host							shared
LICENSE.txt						templates
packs							ThirdPartyNotices.txt

Let's run the binary dotnet from this folder:

[mythcat@desk dotnet]$ ./dotnet --version
6.0.100-preview.5.21302.13 

I added to PATH into .bashrc file:

[mythcat@desk dotnet]$cat ~/.bashrc 
export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$ "
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
