Kestrel Server - lmcclanahan/kestrel-server GitHub Wiki

Installing ASP.NET 5 on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)

Install the .NET Version Manager (DNVM)

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.sh | DNX_BRANCH=dev sh && source ~/.dnx/dnvm/dnvm.sh

Install the .NET Execution Environment (DNX)

I have installed DNX for the .NET core. For instructions to install DNX for Mono see install DNX for Mono.

Install the DNX prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install libunwind8 gettext libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g libicu-dev uuid-dev

Use DNVM to install DNX for .NET Core:

dnvm upgrade -r coreclr

Install libuv

Kestrel is a cross-platform HTTP server and the project is part of ASP.NET Core. Kestrel is based on Libuv, a multi-platform asynchronous IO library.

sudo apt-get install make automake libtool curl
curl -sSL https://github.com/libuv/libuv/archive/v1.8.0.tar.gz | sudo tar zxfv - -C /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src/libuv-1.8.0
sudo sh autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/src/libuv-1.8.0 && cd ~/
sudo ldconfig

If the DNX and DNU commands produce no output, install libicu52 manually Source:

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu52_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb

dpkg -i libicu52_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb

Scaffolding Applications Using Yeoman

Install Node.js, npm, and Yeoman

If you don't have Node.js installed, follow the instructions on [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions). The installer includes both Node.js and npm.

Install yo, bower, grunt, and gulp:

npm install -g yo bower grunt-cli gulp-cli

Install the ASP.NET generator:

npm install -g generator-aspnet

Create an ASP.NET application

Create a new directory for your project and navigate to the project.

To create a new ASP.NET project:

yo aspnet

Navigate down and select the Web Application project. The ASP.NET generator creates ASP.NET 5 DNX project that can be loaded into Visual Studio 2015 or run from the command line.

yoman aspnet generator

Image src: Create an ASP.NET app

Restore the project’s NuGet package dependencies:

dnu restore

Build the project:

dnvm use default -r coreclr && dnu build --framework dnxcore50

Running locally using Kestrel:

dnx web

From your browser, navigate to http://localhost:5000
