.NET 6.0 was released last year as a long-term support release to give you exciting new features, such as support for Apple Silicon chips used in the latest MacBooks and Macs in general, massive performance improvements, support for C# 10 and F# 6, improved support for WebAssembly, and much more to offer.
It was originally released to us to all major platforms in various ways of installation, like installers, binaries, winget installations, installer scripts, and packages through the official Microsoft repository.
Now, it seems that there is a new way to install .NET 6.0. The team has made a very hard work to push .NET SDK and .NET Runtime to official distribution repositories. These distributions were benefited of this change:
In our case, we had a developer machine running Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, and we’ve successfully installed .NET 6.0 using the official Ubuntu repositories. We even built Kernel Simulator and ran it!
This is the documentation page of how to install .NET 6.0 on your Ubuntu Jammy installation.
However, if you’re using this package on your Ubuntu PPAs, don’t get too excited because Launchpad still doesn’t allow downloading project dependencies from the Internet, and NuGet, which is the official package repository for .NET projects, is no exception. You still have to ready your NuGet project-wide configuration file and pre-download all the dependencies before packing it to Launchpad PPA.
Starting from the first beta of the upcoming major release of Kernel Simulator, we’ll use this package to build it. There will be two consecutive packages:
- kernel-simulator: .NET Framework 4.8 version of KS
- kernel-simulator-dotnet: .NET 6.0 version of KS
