Prerequisites

The following sections describe the prerequisites for installing OR-Tools.

.Net Core SDK >= 3.1

Next, install the .Net Core SDK version 3.1 or higher. To do so, open a terminal window and enter:

Alpine

Debian

Before you install .NET, run the following commands to add the Microsoft package signing key to your list of trusted keys and add the package repository.

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/11/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dotnet-sdk-6.0
