Title: Help me install Mono 3.x [FIXED]
Post by: Etienne on August 15, 2014, 07:15:51 PM

So ... can someone post steps for installing (from CLI) mono 3.x (i'm trying to install 328) on x86 64bit debian wheezy?

I got the mono-complete_3.2.8+dfsg-7_amd64.deb but when i try to install this i get loads of missing dependencies ... which in turn have others ....

The sticky topic on top is out of date as it will install mono 2.x ... since this is what's on the debian stable repos!

Have only used what Raspi came with, but the mono developers have a guide:

Finally managed to get HG working on Debian Wheezy - followed these steps (documenting to help out others):

Assuming root access - prefix with sudo if needed.

Code: [Select]

apt-get install gdebi-core
echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono.list
apt-get update
apt-get install mono-complete mono-dmcs
ldconfig

At this point you should be running latest mono from debian testing - at time of writing 3.2.8

Code: [Select]

mono --version
I personally would recommend removing the testing source once mono is installed

Code: [Select]

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono.list
apt-get update

As for the installation of HG goto a tmp folder and run

Code: [Select]

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/homegenie/files/homegenie-beta_1.00.r403_all.deb
gdebi homegenie-beta_1.00.r403_all.deb

HG path/name will change with upcoming version.
