Run ASP. NET vNext on Linux

The latest ASP. NET vNext is fully open-source and can run across multiple platforms. in Windows, I tried to run the Sample without any effort, in the Linux environment, it takes a lot of time, so it is particularly important to record the entire process and hope to help others who want to taste it.

Running Environment

Ubuntu Server 14.04

VirtualBox

Mono> = 3.4.1

* Because the Mono version in the Ubuntu library is outdated and does not meet the minimum requirements, the first step is to install the latest Mono version.

Install Mono

1. first obtain the mono code from GitHub:git clone git://github.com/mono/mono.git

* If you have not installed the git program, you must first execute it In Ubuntu.sudo apt-get install gitCommand.

2. This step is a bit strange. Compiling the new version of mono requires the support of the old version. If mono is not installed, run it in Ubuntu first.sudo apt-get install mono-completeCommand.

3. Go to the mono directory and compile the program:

cd mono./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/localmake

* Other programs, such as autoconf, libtool, g ++, and make, may need to be installed in advance.

4. installation:make install

5. Executemozroots --import --syncCommand to avoid authentication problems.

6. Passmono –versionCommand to confirm that the installed mono is the latest version.

Install KRE

You only need a simple command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/master/kvminstall.sh | sh && source ~/.kre/kvm/kvm.sh && kvm upgrade

kvm upgradeThe command automatically downloads the latest KRE package, decompress it to The. kre/packages directory, and add the bin folder PATH to your environment variable PATH.

* Unzip must be installed in advance because decompression is involved:sudo apt-get install unzip

After installation, you can usekpm –versionCommand to check whether the installation is correct.

Hello World

After all preparations are completed, you can try to run the first program. Traditionally, the first program should be "Hello World !"

1. First create the HelloWorld Folder:mkdir HelloWorld

2. After Entering the folder:cd HelloWorldCreate two files, Program. cs and project. json.

3. edit these two files (vim is recommended) and add the following code to Program. cs:

using System;public class Program{    public static void Main()    {        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");    }}

Add the following configuration to the project. json file:

{  "dependencies": {    "System.Console": "4.0.0.0"  },  "configurations": {    "net45": {},    "k10": {}  }}

4. Executekpm restore -s https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/Command.

* This command retrieves necessary Dependencies from the specified nuget repository according to the description in the configuration file.

5. Run the program:k run

If the above steps are correct, you should be able to see "Hello World!" in shell !" .

Simple MVC

Next, try a complicated program, and the code can be obtained directly from GitHub.

git clone git://github.com/aspnet/Home.git

The HelloMvc Code cannot be used directly because the specified Web server does not exist in Linux. We also need to add a project to generate a Web server.

Slave.

Then modify the project. json file of HelloMvc:

{  "version": "0.1-alpha-*",  "dependencies": {    "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "0.1-alpha-*",    "Nowin.vNext": ""  },  "commands": {    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server Nowin.vNext"  },  "configurations": {    "net45": {      "dependencies": {        "System.Runtime": "",        "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations": ""      }    },    "k10": {}  }}

Run in this waykpm restoreAfter downloading the dependency, runk webCommand to view the web page in the browser.

* In fact, there will still be errors during the above execution. You needapp.UseErrorPage();Andapp.UseWelcomePage();Comment out the statement. The assumption is that the Nowin. vNext server is not implemented.

Client Access

Because the Ubuntu Server used in this experiment has not installed the desktop environment, you cannot view the above results in the virtual machine. However, since the virtual machine has become a server, consider the host machine as a client.

In the network settings of VirtualBox, change the connection mode to a bridge Nic, so that the host can access the virtual machine through an IP address.

The Web server port number in the previous example is 8080. Therefore, enter "Virtual Machine IP Address: 8080" in the browser of the host machine and press enter to see the final result.
