Mono is an open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET.
Contents
Installation
Mono can be installed with the package mono, available in the official repositories.
If you need VisualBasic.Net support you have to install the VisualBasic.Net interpreter with the package mono-basic, available in the official repositories.
Running Mono applications
You can execute Mono binaries by calling mono manually:
$ mono programsname.exe
You can also execute Mono binaries directly, just like native binaries:
$ chmod 755 exefile.exe $ ./exefile.exe
Testing Mono
Make a new file:
test.cs
using System;
public class Test {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
Then run:
$ mcs test.cs $ mono test.exe Hello world!
Development
Starting to develop in Mono/C# is very easy. Just install the MonoDevelop IDE and debugger support with packages monodevelop, monodevelop-debugger-gdb, available in the official repositories.
If you want the API documentation browser and some testing and development tools you have to install mono-tools.
