    Install Mono on Debian

    First of all, install some required packages on your Debian system and import GPG key.

    sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D3D831EF
    

    Now, add Apt repository on your system provide by the official website. Use one of the following commands to add Mono repository to your system based on Ubuntu version.

    ### Debian 10 (Buster) 
    
    echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-buster main" | sudo \
       tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-stable.list
    
    ### Debian 9 (Xenial) 
    
    echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-xenial main" | sudo \
       tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-stable.list
    

    Once the repository is added. Update the apt cache and install Mono packages on your Ubuntu system.

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install mono-complete mono-devel
    

    The mono-devel package is used to compile code. The mono-complete package is used to install everything on the system.

    Find Mono Version

    Once the installation has finished on your system. Let’s check the installed Mono version using the following command.

    mono --version

    Run C# Example with Mono

    As you have installed Mono on your Ubuntu system. Create a sample c# program to run with Mono. Create a Welcome.cs file and edit in your favorite text editor.

    vim Welcome.cs
    

    Add below value to file.

    using System;
     
    public class Welcome
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Welcome to TecAdmin.net");
        }
    }

    Save file and close it. Then compile the c# program with the c# compiler using below command.

    csc Welcome.cs
    

    Once compilation is completed successfully, it will create a exe file in the local directory with the same name as script. In this case a Welcome.exe file is generated in my local directory.

    Then, set the execute permission on newly created executable file. After than run the program as below commands.

    chmod +x Welcome.exe
    ./Welcome.exe
