Step 3: Moving the File to /home/raspberrypi/Downloads Directory
- Move the downloaded file to the /home/raspberrypi/Downloads directory on Raspberry Pi.
Step 4: Opening Terminal and Creating ‘dotnet’ Folder
- Open the terminal on Raspberry Pi and create a folder named ‘dotnet’ in the /home/raspberrypi/ directory:
bash
mkdir /home/raspberrypi/dotnetNote: The directory “/home/raspberrypi” may vary depending on your username and device.)
Step 5: Extracting the Downloaded File to ‘dotnet’ Folder
- Assuming the downloaded file is named dotnet-runtime-8.0.4-linux-arm.tar.gz, use the following command to extract it into the ‘dotnet’ folder:
bash
tar -xvf dotnet-runtime-8.0.4-linux-arm.tar.gz -C /home/raspberrypi/dotnet/Step 6: Setting up the PATH
- To set up the PATH for dotnet, edit the .bashrc file with the following command:
bash
sudo nano /home/raspberrypi/.bashrc- Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:
bash
export DOTNET_ROOT=/home/raspberrypi/dotnet/
export PATH=$PATH/home/raspberrypi/dotnet/
-
After editing, press Ctrl + X to exit, then Y and Enter to save the file.
Step 7: Applying Changes
- To apply the PATH changes without restarting, run the following command:
bash
source ~/.bashrcStep 8: Setting dotnet PATH as Default Secure Path
- To set the dotnet PATH as a default secure path, edit the sudoers file with visudo using:
bash
sudo visudo- Paste the following line below the existing “Default secure path” line:
bash
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/raspberrypi/dotnet"- Once done editing, save and close the file.
