Installing the .NET Runtime works differently depending on which Linux distribution you use. Check out the instructions for your distro:

- [Debian ](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/install/linux-debian )
- [Fedora ](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/install/linux-fedora )

## Verify installation (optional)
2023-11-11 10:21:33 -05:00
You can check which version of ** .NET Runtime** is installed by running the following command in a terminal:
2023-01-26 21:29:36 -05:00
2023-11-11 10:21:33 -05:00
```console
dotnet --info
```
2023-01-26 21:11:51 -05:00
2023-11-11 10:21:33 -05:00
If the ** .NET Runtime** is correctly installed, the command will output something similar to the following:
2023-01-26 21:11:51 -05:00
2023-09-29 07:53:52 -04:00
```console
