## Installation from a binary archive

When using binary archives to install, we recommend the contents be extracted to /opt/dotnet and a symbolic link created for dotnet. If an earlier release of .NET Core is already installed, the directory and symbolic link may already exist.

```bash
sudo mkdir -p /opt/dotnet
sudo tar zxf [tar.gz filename] -C /opt/dotnet
sudo ln -s /opt/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin
```
