Trouble installing dotnet for cmx version 4

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Trouble installing dotnet for cmx version 4

Post by falkunmalti »

Hello

I am having trouble installing dotnet for my rpi 4 (debian bookworm). Until a few days ago, it worked fine but now it appears that with bookworm it won't install. Because of this I tried moving back to bullseye (debian 11) but it is no longer supported. Can anyone help please because I am stuck.
I have seen some posts mentioning this but I have not found any solution yet.

Thanks.

Joe

care to give us what commands you are using, and what error messages you are facing?


something like this should work:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/12/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0

Did you try the exact steps described in our official v4 installation instructions? They should be valid for Bookworm, and if not, then we need to correct those.

They did work for Bookworm but I had to resort to bullseye (debian 11) and there was a note that it does not work for bullseye.

.NET 8 is not supported on Bullseye, and therefore its latest releases probably do not work.

Our advise is to use an supported OS, meaning that you should use Bookworm. If you can’t install .NET8 successfully on Bookworm with the instructions I linked earlier, tell us how it fails and what errors does it give. If you paste contents from your terminal, please use the code tag or attach it as txt file.
