.NET Core 3.1.0 comprises:

• .NET Core Runtime 3.1.0
• ASP.NET Core 3.1.0
• .NET Core 3.1.100

See the Release Notes for details about what is included in this update.

Docker

The .NET Core Docker images have been updated for this release. Details on our Docker versioning and how to work with the images can be seen in "Staying up-to-date with .NET Container Images".

Installing .NET Core on Linux

See our Linux package manager pages for details on installing .NET Core using package managers.

Install using Snap

After configuring Snap on your system, run the following command to install the latest .NET Core SDK.

sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --channel=3.1/stable --classic

When .NET Core in installed using the Snap package, the default .NET Core command is dotnet-sdk.dotnet, as opposed to just dotnet. The benefit of the namespaced command is that it will not conflict with a globally installed .NET Core version you may have. This command can be aliased to dotnet with:

sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet

Note: Some distributions require an additional step to enable access to the SSL certificate. If you experience SSL errors when running dotnet restore, see Linux Setup for a possible resolution.

Windows Server Hosting

If you are looking to host stand-alone apps on Servers, the following installer can be used on Windows systems.

Windows

You can download the Windows Server Hosting installer and run the following command from an Administrator command prompt:

• dotnet-hosting-3.1.0-win.exe

This will install the ASP.NET Core Module for IIS.
