Can't install .NET Core on Linux Mint 18.1

Question

I am trying to install .NET Core on Linux Mint 18.1, following the instructions from "Install for Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 16.10 & Linux Mint 17 (64 bit)". I'm getting errors due to dependencies:

I still can't install the missing dependency directly:

Is there anything I can do to make it work, or is Linux Mint 18.1 simply not supported?

Answer 1

It's works for me:

$ curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.gpg
$ sudo mv microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-xenial-prod xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1.4

See instructions

UPDATE IN 2018-05-01: Microsoft changed instructions, see: Install .NET Core SDK 2.1.300-preview2 on Linux Ubuntu 17.10

Answer 2

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 417A0893

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.1

Working on 18.1
