# Linux package dependencies

.NET 6 has several dependencies that must be satisfied to run .NET apps. The commands to install these libraries are listed for multiple Linux distributions.

Feel free to contribute packages for distributions not (yet) listed in this document, including ones not supported by the .NET Team.

Tips:

- [runtime-deps container images](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/tree/main/src/runtime-deps) installs these same packages. You can look at those dockerfiles.
- [pkgs.org](https://pkgs.org/) is a useful site for searching for packages, to find the one for your distribution.

## Packages

.NET depends on the following packages.

- [GNU C Library (glibc)](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html)
- [GNU C++ Library](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/)
- [GCC low-level runtime library](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Libgcc.html)
- [ICU](http://site.icu-project.org/)
- [Kerberos](http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/)
- [Open SSL](https://www.openssl.org/)
- [zlib compression library](https://www.zlib.net/)

You do not need to install ICU if you [enable globalization invariant mode](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/design/features/globalization-invariant-mode.md#enabling-the-invariant-mode).

If your app relies on `https` endpoints, you'll also need to install `ca-certificates`.

## Community supported distros

The following distros are not supported by the .NET team. The following package information is provided on an as-is basis. Feel free contribute package information for the distro you use .NET with if it isn't listed.

### Arch Linux

```bash
sudo pacman -Sy \
    glibc \
    gcc \
    krb5 \
    icu \
    openssl \
