CentOS Latest Release: Installing .NET Core

In this article, we will walk you through the process of installing the latest release of .NET Core on CentOS. The instructions provided below assume that you have a basic understanding of terminal commands and package management.

To begin, open a terminal on your CentOS machine and run the following command to add the Microsoft package signing key to your list of trusted keys:

```

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft-rpm.gpg

```

Next, add the Microsoft package repository by running the following command:

```

sudo rpm -Uvh https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo

```

Once you have added the repository, you can install .NET Core by running the following command:

```

sudo dnf install dotnet-

```

Replace `` with the version of .NET Core that you want to install. For example, if you want to install .NET Core 3.1, you would run `sudo dnf install dotnet-3.1`.

If you have previously installed a preview release of .NET Core, you may need to uninstall it before installing the latest release. You can do this by running the following command:

```

sudo dnf remove dotnet-preview

```

If you are using a package manager to manage your installation of .NET Core, you may encounter conflicts if you have previously installed a preview release. To avoid these conflicts, it is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions before installing the latest release.

Alternatively, you can install .NET Core using a scripted install with the `install-dotnet.sh` script. This script will automatically detect and install the correct version of .NET Core for your system.

```

sudo ./install-dotnet.sh

```

Keep in mind that preview and release candidate versions of .NET Core are not available in package repositories, so you may need to install them using a different method.

For more information on installing .NET Core without a package manager, see one of the following articles:

* 'Installing .NET Core Using Snap'(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/snap)

* 'Installing .NET Core with an Installer Script'(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/scripted)

* 'Installing .NET Core Manually'(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/manual)

Please note that package manager installs are only supported on the x64 architecture. If you have a different architecture, such as Arm, you will need to install .NET Core using a different method.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
