Chapter 2. Installing .NET 5.0

Procedure

1. Enable the .NET software repositories:

   $ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-variant-dotnet-rpms

   Replace variant with server, workstation or hpc-node depending on what RHEL system you are running (RHEL 7 Server, RHEL 7 Workstation, or HPC Compute Node, respectively).

2. Verify the list of subscriptions attached to your system:

   $ sudo subscription-manager list --consumed

3. Install the scl tool:

   $ sudo yum install scl-utils -y

4. Install .NET 5.0 and all of its dependencies:

   $ sudo yum install rh-dotnet50 -y

5. Enable the rh-dotnet50 Software Collection environment:

   $ scl enable rh-dotnet50 bash

   You can now run dotnet commands in this bash shell session.

   If you log out, use another shell, or open up a new terminal, the dotnet command is no longer enabled.

   Warning

   Red Hat does not recommend permanently enabling rh-dotnet50 because it may affect other programs. If you want to enable rh-dotnet permanently, add source scl_source enable rh-dotnet50 to your ~/.bashrc file.
