**Note:** The 'Linux' binary archives are new for the 2.0 release. This package contains binaries which are compatible with [Linux distros and versions supported by .NET Core](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.0/2.0-supported-os.md).
**Checksum** files to verify downloads are available as follows:
Images for .NET Core 2.0.0 are available on [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/dotnet/).
## Installing .NET Core on Linux
### Uninstall any Preview versions
If you have .NET Core Previews installed, it will need to be removed before attempting to install .NET Core 2.0. This can be done by running a command such as the following.
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[packages-microsoft-com-prod]\nname=packages-microsoft-com-prod \nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/microsoft-rhel7.3-prod\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/zypp/repos.d/dotnetdev.repo'
sudo zypper install libunwind libicu
```
Then, update the package cache and install .NET Core
#### Fedora, CentOS and Oracle Linux
```bash
sudo yum update
sudo yum install dotnet-sdk-2.0.2
```
#### SUSE Enterprise Linux and OpenSUSE
```bash
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install dotnet-sdk-2.0.2
```
**Note:** When installing the SDK, SUSE and OpenSUSE may report that nothing provides libcurl. libcurl should already be installed on supported versions of both distros. Run zypper search libcurl to confirm. The error will present 2 'solutions'. Choose 'Solution 2' to continue installing .NET Core.
## Installation from a binary archive
Installing from the packages detailed above is recommended and you can also install from binary archive. When using binary archives to install, the contents must be extracted to a user location such as `$HOME/dotnet` and a symbolic link created for `dotnet`. This is a change from previous versions of .NET Core. Additional details can be seen in [.NET Core 2.0 Known Issues](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.0/2.0.0-known-issues.md).
```bash
mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet && tar zxf dotnet.tar.gz -C $HOME/dotnet
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
```
## Server Hosting
### Windows
If you are looking to host stand-alone apps on Windows Servers, the ASP.NET Core Module for IIS can be installed separately on servers without installing .NET Core runtime. You can download the Windows (Server Hosting) installer and run the following command from an Administrator command prompt:
On supported Linux systems, register the Microsoft Product feed as described above and install `dotnet-hosting-2.0.0` using your package manager.
### ASP.NET Core Package Store
The Runtime Package Store is installed by the .NET Core SDK and the Windows Server Hosting installer. If you need to install the Runtime Package Store separately, the following can be used.
