How to use NPOI on Linux - nissl-lab/npoi GitHub Wiki
Since NPOI 2.6.0, System.Drawing.Common is not used anymore. You don't need to setup anything on Linux.
Thank you for the contribution from rob
Since NPOI uses System.Drawing.Common, you must install libgdiplus and libc6 on Linux system.
Ubuntu 16.04+
apt-get install libgdiplus libc6-dev
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll
Fedora 23+
dnf install libgdiplus
cd /usr/lib64/
ln -s libgdiplus.so.0 gdiplus.dll
CentOS 7+
yum install autoconf automake libtool
yum install freetype-devel fontconfig libXft-devel
yum install libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel giflib-devel libtiff-devel libexif-devel
yum install glib2-devel cairo-devel
git clone https://github.com/mono/libgdiplus
cd libgdiplus
./autogen.sh
make
make install
cd /usr/lib64/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll
Docker image - Alpine
