Rider

Install with tool-box:

• Download
• Installation Guide

If your project has NPM tasks with msbuild (if NPM INSTALL fails during compilation), run Rider using a terminal with NPM access. For example: left click on Rider search for Application > Command run. Copy and run it:

/home/equilaterus/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/Rider/ch-0/213.6775.4/bin/rider.sh

To avoid repeating the previous step, create a file rider.sh at /home with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
echo 'Running Rider...'
# Copy your Rider command....
sh /home/equilaterus/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/Rider/ch-0/213.6775.4/bin/rider.sh 

Next time, open a console and type:

sh rider.sh

Dotnet core

• Installation Fedora
• Installation Debian
• Instalation Arch
• Snaps can have problems when running web-apps.

If you have multiple versions of dotnet core, create a file global.json in the same location as this readme with the following contents:

{
    "sdk": {
        "version": "3.1.417" 
    }  
}

Replace the version with a 3.1.x installed on your machine. To see your SDKs:

dotnet --list-sdks

If you have trouble with dotnet ef after installing it, use the following command:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools/"

To fix certificates error run:

dotnet dev-certs https

You’ll still have to configure trust certificates or access your page as unsecure resource from your web browser. As it is a dev env, you can safely access it as an unsafe site.

Powershell

• Install Fedora
• Install Debian
• Install Arch untested.

If you prefer, you can install it as a dotnet tool (but previous methods are better):

dotnet tool install --global PowerShell

After that use pwsh to start powershell.

For dotnet core 3.1:

dotnet tool install --global PowerShell --version 7.0.9

For other versions check: nuget package
