With this X11 communication channel properly established via ssh, a graphical applications run on the “X client” will be tunnel across and displayed on the.

Do you need to install an operating system in your Computer? Then quickly grab a CD or DVD and burn the OS in it to install. Is that sounds good? Nah, it is an old school trick. Now we just use a pen drive to create a bootable USB for installation of OS. We do not need any CD/DVD to install Windows or Linux on our laptop or PCs. Just a simple 4Gb or 8Gb USB drive, anyone can do this with little knowledge and the right tools in possession.

How to Make a Bootable USB?

Take a pen drive.
Mount it to your computer or laptop
Download the ISO of the operating system you want to install.
Install any of the below-given Pen drive bootable creators.
Select the attached USB drive and Insert ISO file.
And start the flashing process to burn the file of the OS from the computer to your USB drive to produce a Bootable USB.
Then simply restart the system to start the booting for OS installation.

So, in the context of the same here are some best free or opensource software to create the bootable USB.

Rufus- Open source USB bootable creator

I just cannot ignore Rufus when we talk about the bootable software to create a bootable USB. It should be top of the list for the nature it has. The open-source availability of it makes an advantage for us to access Rufus freely and get the job done quickly. Another very useful point it brings to us is there is no need for its installation, being a portable bootable USB creator we can directly run it. The .exe file is enough to process the software. Users feel very comfortable to use the services of it and it is very easy to handle. You can use Rufus to flash Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and other OS on any USB drive or Memory Card. Download

.NET Core is supported on Ubuntu. This article describes how to install .NET Core on Ubuntu. When an Ubuntu version falls out of support, .NET Core is no longer supported with that version. However, these instructions may help you to get .NET Core running on those versions, even though it isn't supported.

Install the SDK (which includes the runtime) if you want to develop .NET apps. Or, if you only need to run apps, install the runtime. If you're installing the runtime, we suggest you install the ASP.NET Core runtime as it includes both .NET Core and ASP.NET Core runtimes.

If you've already installed the SDK or runtime, use the dotnet --list-sdks and dotnet --list-runtimes commands to see which versions are installed. For more information, see How to check that .NET Core is already installed.

Package manager installs are only supported on the x64 architecture. Other architectures, such as ARM, must manually install the .NET Core SDK or .NET Core Runtime. For more information, see the manually install section.

Supported distributions

The following table is a list of currently supported .NET Core releases and the versions of Ubuntu they're supported on. These versions remain supported until either the version of .NET Core reaches end-of-support or the version of Ubuntu reaches end-of-life.

A ✔️ indicates that the version of Ubuntu or .NET Core is still supported.
A ❌ indicates that the version of Ubuntu or .NET Core isn't supported on that Ubuntu release.
When both a version of Ubuntu and a version of .NET Core have ✔️, that OS and .NET combination are supported.

Ubuntu	.NET Core 2.1	.NET Core 3.1	.NET 5 Preview (manual install only)
✔️ 20.04 (LTS)	✔️ 2.1	✔️ 3.1	✔️ 5.0 Preview
❌ 19.10	✔️ 2.1	✔️ 3.1	✔️ 5.0 Preview
❌ 19.04	✔️ 2.1	✔️ 3.1	❌ 5.0 Preview
❌ 18.10	✔️ 2.1	❌ 3.1	❌ 5.0 Preview
✔️ 18.04 (LTS)	✔️ 2.1	✔️ 3.1	✔️ 5.0 Preview
❌ 17.10	✔️ 2.1	❌ 3.1	❌ 5.0 Preview
❌ 17.04	✔️ 2.1	❌ 3.1	❌ 5.0 Preview
❌ 16.10	❌ 2.1	❌ 3.1	❌ 5.0 Preview
✔️ 16.04 (LTS)	✔️ 2.1	✔️ 3.1	✔️ 5.0 Preview

The following versions of .NET Core are no longer supported. The downloads for these still remain published:

How to install other versions

The packages added to package manager feeds are named in a hackable format: {product}-{type}-{version}.

product
The type of .NET product to install. Valid options are:
- dotnet
- aspnetcore
type
Chooses the SDK or the runtime. Valid options are:
- sdk
- runtime
version
The version of the SDK or runtime to install. This article will always give the instructions for the latest supported version. Valid options are any released version, such as:
- 3.1
- 3.0
- 2.1
It's possible the SDK/runtime you're trying to download is not available for your Linux distribution. For a list of supported distributions, see .NET Core dependencies and requirements.

Examples

Install the ASP.NET Core 3.1 runtime: aspnetcore-runtime-3.1
Install the .NET Core 2.1 runtime: dotnet-runtime-2.1
Install the .NET Core 3.1 SDK: dotnet-sdk-3.1

Package missing

If the package-version combination doesn't work, it's not available. For example, there isn't an ASP.NET Core SDK, the SDK components are included with the .NET Core SDK. The value aspnetcore-sdk-2.2 is incorrect and should be dotnet-sdk-2.2. For a list of Linux distributions supported by .NET Core, see .NET Core dependencies and requirements.

APT troubleshooting

This section provides information on common errors you may get while using APT to install .NET Core.

Unable to find package

Unable to locate Some packages could not be installed

If you receive an error message similar to Unable to locate package {netcore-package} or Some packages could not be installed, run the following commands.

There are two placeholders in the following set of commands.

{dotnet-package}
This represents the .NET Core package you're installing, such as aspnetcore-runtime-3.1. This is used in the sudo apt-get install command below.
{os-version}
This represents the Linux version you are on. This is used in the wget command below.

First, try purging the package list:

Then, try to install .NET Core again. If that doesn't work, you can run a manual install with the following commands:

Failed to fetch

While installing the .NET Core package, you may see an error similar to Failed to fetch ... File has unexpected size ... Mirror sync in progress?. This error could mean that the package feed for .NET Core is being upgraded with newer package versions, and that you should try again later. During an upgrade, the package feed shouldn't be unavailable for more than 30 minutes. If you continually receive this error for more than 30 minutes, please file an issue at https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues.

Snap

A snap is a bundle of an app and its dependencies that works without modification across many different Linux distributions. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store. For more information about Snap, see Getting started with Snap.

Only supported versions of .NET Core are available through Snap.

Install the SDK

Ubuntu On Mac Mini

Snap packages for .NET Core SDK are all published under the same identifier: dotnet-sdk. A specific version of the SDK can be installed by specifying the channel. The SDK includes the coresponding runtime. The following table list the channels:

.NET Core version	Snap package
3.1 (LTS)	`3.1` or `latest/stable`
2.1 (LTS)	`2.1`
.NET 5.0 preview	`5.0/beta`

Use the snap install command to install a .NET Core SDK snap package. Use the --channel parameter to indicate which version to install. If this parameter is omitted, latest/stable is used. In this example, 3.1 is specified:

Next, register the dotnet command for the system with the snap alias command:

This command is formatted as: sudo snap alias {package}.{command} {alias}. You can choose any {alias} name you would like. For example, you could name the command after the specific version installed by snap: sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet31. When you use the command dotnet31, you'll invoke this specific version of .NET. But this is incompatible with most tutorials and examples as they expect a dotnet command to be available.

Install the runtime

Snap packages for .NET Core Runtime are each published under their own package identifier. The following table lists the package identifiers:

.NET Core version	Snap package
3.1 (LTS)	`dotnet-runtime-31`
3.0	`dotnet-runtime-30`
2.2	`dotnet-runtime-22`
2.1 (LTS)	`dotnet-runtime-21`

Use the snap install command to install a .NET Core Runtime snap package. In this example, .NET Core 3.1 is installed:

Next, register the dotnet command for the system with the snap alias command:

This command is formatted as: sudo snap alias {package}.{command} {alias}. You can choose any {alias} name you would like. For example, you could name the command after the specific version installed by snap: sudo snap alias dotnet-runtime-31.dotnet dotnet31. When you use the command dotnet31, you'll invoke this specific version of .NET. But this is incompatible with most tutorials and examples as they expect a dotnet command to be available.

SSL Certificate errors

When .NET is installed through Snap, it's possible that on some distros the .NET SSL certificates may not be found and you may receive an error similar to the following during restore:

To resolve this issue, set a few enviornment variables:

The certificate location will vary by distro. Here are the locations for the distros where we have experienced the issue.

Fedora - /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem
OpenSUSE - /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem
Solus - /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Dependencies

When you install with a package manager, these libraries are installed for you. But, if you manually install .NET Core or you publish a self-contained app, you'll need to make sure these libraries are installed:

libc6
libgcc1
libgssapi-krb5-2
libicu52 (for 14.x)
libicu55 (for 16.x)
libicu60 (for 18.x)
libicu66 (for 20.x)
libssl1.0.0 (for 14.x, 16.x)
libssl1.1 (for 18.x, 20.x)
libstdc++6
zlib1g

For .NET Core apps that use the System.Drawing.Common assembly, you also need the following dependency:

libgdiplus (version 6.0.1 or later)
Warning
You can install a recent version of libgdiplus by adding the Mono repository to your system. For more information, see https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/.

Scripted install

The dotnet-install scripts are used for automation and non-admin installs of the SDK and Runtime. You can download the script from https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh.

The script defaults to installing the latest SDK long term support (LTS) version, which is .NET Core 3.1. To install the current release, which may not be an (LTS) version, use the -c Current parameter.

To install .NET Core Runtime instead of the SDK, use the --runtime parameter.

You can install a specific version by altering the -c parameter to indicate the specific version. The following command installs .NET Core SDK 3.1.

For more information, see dotnet-install scripts reference.

Manual install

Run Ubuntu On Mac

As an alternative to the package managers, you can download and manually install the SDK and runtime. Manual install is usually performed as part of continuous integration testing or on an unsupported Linux distribution. For a developer or user, it's generally better to use a package manager.

If you install .NET Core SDK, you don't need to install the corresponding runtime. First, download a binary release for either the SDK or the runtime from one of the following sites:

✔️ .NET 5.0 preview downloads
✔️ .NET Core 3.1 downloads
✔️ .NET Core 2.1 downloads

Next, extract the downloaded file and use the export command to set variables used by .NET Core and then ensure .NET Core is in PATH.

Ubuntu Apps On Mac Windows 10

To extract the runtime and make the .NET Core CLI commands available at the terminal, first download a .NET Core binary release. Then, open a terminal and run the following commands from the directory where the file was saved. The archive file name may be different depending on what you downloaded.

Use the following command to extract the runtime:

Install Mac On Ubuntu

Use the following command to extract the SDK:

Tip

The preceding export commands only make the .NET Core CLI commands available for the terminal session in which it was run.

You can edit your shell profile to permanently add the commands. There are a number of different shells available for Linux and each has a different profile. For example:

Bash Shell: ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc
Korn Shell: ~/.kshrc or .profile
Z Shell: ~/.zshrc or .zprofile

Install Ubuntu On Old Mac

Edit the appropriate source file for your shell and add :$HOME/dotnet to the end of the existing PATH statement. If no PATH statement is included, add a new line with export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet.

Also, add export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet to the end of the file.

This approach lets you install different versions into separate locations and choose explicitly which one to use by which application.
