Use F# on Linux instructions did not work about fsharp.org HOT 10 CLOSED

I will look into this tomorrow.

from fsharp.org.

Worth noting these days that many repos have first class packages for the .Net SDK. e.g. for Ubuntu it's just 'apt install dotnet-sdk-7.0'. these instructions should probably take that into account.

Which instructions?

The ones the link points to.

curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --channel Current

from fsharp.org.

This is what I use (well, contributed) to gitpod to install and provision docker images with the right .NET installed. Works in those environments, which are proper linux and not WSL. So I'm not sure what else to do here.

The alternative is to follow the existing link on those pages, which eventually brings you here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux

As you can see, there's no real one-size-fits-all for linux installs unless you use the dotnet-install script.

Ah, actually, I wonder if DOTNET_ROOT needs to get set? IIRC the default path is $HOME/.dotnet and so DOTNET_ROOT=/$HOME/.dotnet might be needed?

from fsharp.org.

The script seems to have created the .dotnet folder in the working directory instead of the user's home directory on Linux. The working directory was my user folder in Windows (/mnt/c/Users/hutchinsons). I'm not sure whether that .dotnet folder was already there and whether I need it on Windows; otherwise I would delete it and try again with my Linux home directory as the working directory.

Can this be reproduced/closed?

from fsharp.org.

It looks like the script has changed, so I'm closing this issue.
