Docs: Ubuntu 18.04 in WSL1, Unable to locate package dotnet-sdk-3.1

Created on 4 Dec 2019 · 10Comments · Source: dotnet/docs

Hello,

I have tried every path in this page, even the "Unable to locate package" commands (the last bunch of them, where you start by installing gpg). Unfortunately, when I try to "sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-3.1" I always get the following responses:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package dotnet-sdk-3.1
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'dotnet-sdk-3.1'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'dotnet-sdk-3.1'

Is .net core sdk 3.1 for Linux up or not?

The trick is to first let the package manager know that it should include packages from ‘packages.microsoft.com’:

_wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb_
_sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb_
_sudo apt-get update_
_apt search dotnet-sdk_

Me, too, When will it be available? I'm thinking about whether to manually install it.

When will version 3.1 be available?

seems all Linux distributions don't have 3.1 yet

sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic
is working

If you don't want to use the snap installation, you can also download the binaries and extract them to the proper directory.
sudo tar -xvf dotnet-sdk-3.1.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/share/dotnet/

This should be available now.

sudo apt update
apt search dotnet-sdk

And I see the 3.1 release is now available

$ apt search dotnet-sdk
