Running Self-contained ASP .NET core application on Ubuntu (4 answers)

Closed 2 years ago.

I am using Visual Studio 2015. And created .net core Console app. After compiling in debug folder I have my project dll. And if I want to run it on another computer, I have to install dotnet on it and then write in cmd dotnet myApp.dll. But I need to run my app without any installations.

I have read, that I must publish my app. I do it with command dotnet publish -c Release. Now in folder release I have new folder publish with myApp.dll and other dll-files and folder runtimes for different systems. For example in Ubuntu.16.04-x64 folder I have file System.Security.Cryptography.Native.OpenSsl.so. But how I can run my app without any new installations of dotnet or something else?
