Download the repo config package:
curl -sSL -O
https://packages.microsoft.com/config/
//packages-
microsoft-prod.deb
Install the repo config package:
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Delete the repo config package after installing:
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Update package index files:
sudo apt-get update
To install the Microsoft product package you're after using this Linux repository
(packages.microsoft.com):
sudo apt-get install
See
packages.microsoft.com
to find the list of supported Linux distributions and
versions.
In this example, entering
cat /etc/os-release
shows that Ubuntu, version 20.04, is
running. Visiting
packages.microsoft.com
, we can see Ubuntu 20.04 on the list. To
download the packages.microsoft.com repo, cURL is used to download with the
command:
curl -sSL -O
https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
. The
repo config package is then installed with the command:
sudo dpkg -i packages-
microsoft-prod.deb
and then deleted as not to take up space. The list of packages is
then updated with the apt package manager using the command:
sudo apt-get update
.
To search what Microsoft packages are available after installing, change to the root
directory of your Linux distribution:
cd /
and look in the directory:
/var/lib/apt/lists
.
You will see a list of files with titles something like:
packages.microsoft.com_ubuntu_20.04_prod_dists_focal_main_binary-all_Packages
. You
can open this file in a text editor (for example,
nano
) to see a list of the
available packages.
The Red Hat Package Manager (rpm) instructions assume that the package client
command is
dnf
but some rpm-based Linux distributions might be using other package
managers, such as
tdnf
.
