to Run the Program go to Run Menu >> Run With >> Mono x.x

you will see the Output at the bottom of the screen .as result but you will notice that its not asking for input as we written some code that taking input from the user thats because its not the original console window so lets make the option so that out program will run in Separate Console Window.

Go to Project Menu >> Project Option >> under Run Section tick Run on External Console.

Now Run the Project Again and viola you have Created your First C# Program on Linux Machine :)
