This document outlines the dependencies needed to run .NET Core tools and applications.
For Operating System support, please refer to the roadmap document.
On Windows, the only dependency is the VC++ Redistributable. Depending on the version of Windows you are running on, the versions are changing.
Note: these dependencies are chained in the installer, you only need to install them manually if you are using the installer script (
dotnet-install.shordotnet-install.ps1).
- Windows 10
- Pre-Windows 10
- Please make sure that your Windows installation is up-to-date and includes hotfix [KB2533623] (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2533623) installed through Windows Update.
- Universal CRT update (you can get more info on what Universal CRT is in this blog post)
Ubuntu distributions require the following libraries installed:
- libunwind8
- libunwind8-dev
- gettext
- libicu-dev
- liblttng-ust-dev
- libcurl4-openssl-dev
- libssl-dev
- uuid-dev

CentOS distributions require the following libraries installed:
- deltarpm
- epel-release
- unzip
- libunwind
- gettext
- libcurl-devel
- openssl-devel

OS X requires the following libraries and versions installed:

Please follow the recommended practices of each operating system in question. For Linux, we recommend using your package manager such as apt-get for Ubuntu and yum for CentOS. For OS X and upgrading the libssl, we recommend using Homebrew; if you do use it, do not forget the link phase you need to do at the end of install (brew link openssl --force).
