.NET Core native prerequisites

This document outlines the dependencies needed to run .NET Core tools and applications.

For Operating System support, please refer to the roadmap document.

Windows dependencies

On Windows, the only dependency is the VC++ Redistributable. Depending on the version of Windows you are running on, the versions are changing.

Note: these dependencies are chained in the installer, you only need to install them manually if you are using the installer script (dotnet-install.sh or dotnet-install.ps1).

Ubuntu

Ubuntu distributions require the following libraries installed:

  • libunwind8
  • libunwind8-dev
  • gettext
  • libicu-dev
  • liblttng-ust-dev
  • libcurl4-openssl-dev
  • libssl-dev
  • uuid-dev
  • unzip

CentOS

CentOS distributions require the following libraries installed:

  • deltarpm
  • epel-release
  • unzip
  • libunwind
  • gettext
  • libcurl-devel
  • openssl-devel
  • zlib
  • libicu-devel

OS X

OS X requires the following libraries and versions installed:

  • libssl version 1.0.1

Installing the dependencies

Please follow the recommended practices of each operating system in question. For Linux, we recommend using your package manager such as apt-get for Ubuntu and yum for CentOS. For OS X and upgrading the libssl, we recommend using Homebrew; if you do use it, do not forget the link phase you need to do at the end of install (brew link openssl --force).
