Heya,

I'm trying to install a specific version of .netcore 3.1.6 onto a standard Ubuntu 16.4 image. (current image is 3.1.4)

So i tried to do this .. and it installed, but the image was not 'found':

Command: curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --runtime dotnet --version 3.1.6

curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --runtime dotnet --version 3.1.6

To install additional .NET runtimes or SDKs:
  https://aka.ms/dotnet-download

OKAY - so notice how I think it installed it to some weird/not default directory? well, I tried changing the command with specifying the directory to install into:

Command: curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --runtime dotnet --version 3.1.6 --install-dir /usr/share/dotnet

and now I get the following error:

curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --runtime dotnet --version 3.1.6 --install-dir /usr/share/dotnet
dotnet_install: Warning: Unable to locate zlib. Probable prerequisite missing; install zlib.(B

cp: cannot create directory '/usr/share/dotnet/host/fxr/3.1.6/': Permission denied
Command exited with code 1
Build failed

So - i'm stuck. can anyone help please?

(of course, this could apply to any dotnet sdk version, I assume)

    Hi Pure,

    You have to use sudo to write to /usr/share/dotnet folder. We use the following script to install the latest .NET Core on Linux:

    environment:
  CORE_SDK_LINUX_URL: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/4f9b8a64-5e09-456c-a087-527cfc8b4cd2/15e14ec06eab947432de139f172f7a98/dotnet-sdk-3.1.401-linux-x64.tar.gz

install:
- sh: wget -O dotnet-sdk.tar.gz ${CORE_SDK_LINUX_URL}
- sh: sudo tar zxf dotnet-sdk.tar.gz -C /usr/share/dotnet
- dotnet --version

    You can take the exact URL of distro on this page: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1 (Binaries -> x64).

    hi @feodor - thanks heaps for the sample scripts. Your scripts work - awesome.

    I went back and tried to use the microsoft sh scripts and they also work when I added sudo in:

    • dotnet runtime only: curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin --runtime dotnet --version 3.1.6
    • aspnetcore: curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin --runtime aspnetcore --version 3.1.6

    cheers!
