Install .NET Core in Amazon Linux 2 using yum

Question

I cannot find a straightforward way of installing dotnet 2.2 on a AWS Linux 2 AMI.

There was some announcements that there was pre-built AMI's with it installed, but the ones I see, also have different versions of MSSQL Server.

Isn't there a way to install dotnet core 2.2 using yum or getting an AMI without SQL Server?

I found Run .NET programs on Amazon Linux AMI but I wonder if it is still valid, and if there is not an easier way.

Answer 1

The following works for .NET Core 3.1 on Amazon Linux 2:

sudo rpm -Uvh https://packages.microsoft.com/config/centos/7/packages-microsoft-prod.rpm
sudo yum install dotnet-sdk-3.1

(or dotnet-sdk-5.0 for .NET 5)

More detail here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-centos#centos-7-

If you're using AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and you only need the runtime (not the SDK) then you can just use the .NET Core / Linux platform.

Answer 2

Have you tried the following:

sudo yum update 
sudo yum install dotnet-sdk-2.2
