# Install dotnet!!!

In this guide, I would like to write the procedure for installing dotnet in
Fedora!!!

## Download the Fedora installer

First, from the terminal using the curl command, you need to download the
dotnet-install.sh bash script from the Microsoft website:

```bash
curl -L https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh -o dotnet-install.sh
```

## Make the downloaded file executable

After downloading the file, you need to make it executable:

```bash
chmod +x ./dotnet-install.sh
```

## Install the latest version

Once the file has been made executable with the previous command, you need
to type the command to install the latest version:

```bash
./dotnet-install.sh --version latest
```

## Configure environment variables

The script will install the files in the default folder ~/.dotnet. To be
able to invoke the dotnet command directly from the terminal, you need to
add the environment variables to the shell configuration file (.bashrc).

To ensure that the environment variables are updated, you need to reload
the .bashrc file:

```bash
echo 'export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet:$HOME/.dotnet/tools' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```

## Verify the Installed .NET Version

With the previous commands, we have installed .NET. You can run one last command to verify that .NET was successfully installed.

```bash
dotnet --version
```

## Install Gtk4-devel

To compile GUI (Graphical User Interface) programs, you must install gtk4-devel and pkg-config.

```bash
sudo dnf install gtk4-devel pkg-config
```
