Install guide for Linux shows compiling Mono from source #46

Closed akoeplinger closed 9 years ago

akoeplinger commented 9 years ago

See this wiki page. This is not the recommended way of installing Mono on Linux, there are .deb and .rpm distribution packages available for most systems, see http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/

For Ubuntu 14.04 this boils down to:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete     # or mono-devel depending on what you need

Thank you @akoeplinger. I think at the time I first started on svm and running scriptcs on linux, the mono releases for linux were a little behind those of OSX - it made more sense for me to compile from source and I just kept up with that process.

I'll update the wiki with your steps. Thanks again for keeping us up to date.
