Nice to know this..

Recently, we have heard many important announcements from Microsoft. As an initiative towards openness and the open source community Microsoft made the .NET Core open source, including the runtime as well as the framework libraries.

vNext can run in a non-Microsoft environment. Let us discuss how to install and run ASP.NET vNext (Alpha 3) on Ubuntu Linux.

First of all we need a Linux environment installed on a physical or virtual box. I am using an Oracle VM virtualbox for demo purposes. I have installed Ubuntu using it.

Let us start

Ubuntu

We are ready with the basic installation of Linux. We need to set up a network related connection.

Let us start with the Mono installation as in the following:

sudo apt-get install build-essential wget: mono-3.8.0.

tar -xvf mono-3.8.0.tar.bz2 cd mono-3.8.0/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

make sudo make install

The .NET Framework on Windows uses the Windows Certificates store to check whether to accept an SSL certificate from a remote site. In Mono, there is no Windows Certificate store. It has its own store. By default, it is empty and we need to manage the entries ourselves.

CERTMGR=/usr/local/bin/certmgr sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://go.microsoft.com sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://nugetgallery.blob.core.windows.net sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://nuget.org sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/ mozroots --import --sync

Project “K”

This K is a pack of tools / assemblies and command line utilities that help to compile and host / run the new ASP.NET 5 (and console application). K creates an abstraction between the new ASP.NET framework and the .NET framework, with which ASP.NET 5 can be developed, compiled and hosted on Windows, Linux and Mac (using the .NET framework on Windows and Mono runtime on Mac / Linux).

Project K is a pack of the following 4 main components:

KRE: K Runtime Environment
KVM: K Version Manager
KPM: K Package Manager
K / KLR: K runtime / K language runtime

The following are the commands to install project “K” in a Linux environment.

sudo apt-get install curl:

curl -ssl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/master/kvminstall.sh | sh && source ~/.kre/kvm/kvm.sh

kvm upgrade (To download the full dot net CLR)

Currently we need a couple of dependencies to run the .Net framework.

To install libuv we need to resolve one more dependency using:

sudo apt-get install gyp

To download libuv wget.

tar -xvf libuv-v1.0.0-rc1.tar.gz
cd libuv-v1.0.0-rc1/
./gyp_uv.py -f make -Duv_library=shared_library

make -C out

sudo cp out/Debug/lib.target/libuv.so /usr/lib/libuv.so.1.0.0-rc1

cd ..

sudo ln -s libuv.so.1.0.0-rc1 /usr/lib/libuv.so.1

To download sample files from github wget:

unzime master.zip

To run console application

cd Home-master/samples/ConsoleApp

kpm restore

k run

k run

To run MVC.NET application

cd Home-master/samples/HelloMvc
kpm restore
k kestrel

Kestrel is a new cross-platform OWIN web server for ASP.NET. By default, Kestrel runs on port 5004, thus opening our browser of choice with http://localhost:5004 gives us the desired result:
