Setting up .NET Core in Ubuntu

In this recipe, we will be going through how to set up .NET Core 2.x in an Ubuntu system. Ubuntu is a widely used Debian-based Linux environment. By visiting https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop, you can easily download and install Ubuntu on your system. You may have to use a virtual PC to do this. There are two great free tools that you can use:

1. VMWare Workstation Player for Windows: https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-player.html
2. Oracle Virtual Box for Windows, Linux, and macOS: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

This chapter assumes you have already set up and installed the required operating systems.
