Each software is released under license type that can be found on program pages as well as on search or category pages. Here are the most common license types:

Freeware

Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use).

Open Source

Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition — in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.

Free to Play

This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.

Demo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program’s interfaces. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited.

Trial

Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations.

Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.

The package referenceassemblies-pcl should be installed for PCL compilation support — this will resolve most cases of «Framework not installed: .NETPortable» errors during software compilation.

The package ca-certificates-mono should be installed to get SSL certificates for HTTPS connections. Install this package if you run into trouble making HTTPS connections.

The package mono-xsp4 should be installed for running ASP.NET applications.

Notes

Mono on Linux before 3.12 by default didn’t trust any SSL certificates so you got errors when accessing HTTPS resources. This is not required anymore as 3.12 and later include a new tool that runs on package installation and syncs Mono’s certificate store with the system certificate store (on older versions you had to import Mozilla’s list of trusted certificates by running mozroots —import —sync ). Some systems are configured in a way so that the necessary package isn’t pulled in when Mono is installed, in those cases make sure the ca-certificates-mono package is installed.

Mono for Windows is available as a Windows Installer file

Supported on Windows 7, 8, 10 or later.

Mono is available on Docker Hub

The simplest way to get started is:

This will download the latest Mono Docker image, create a container and put you into an interactive shell.

Available tags

There are several tags for selecting the desired Mono version:

• latest — Always points to the latest release
• X.X.X.X — points to a specific version, e.g. 5.8.0.108
• X.X.X — points to the latest version in the X.X.X series, e.g. 5.8.0
• X.X — points to the latest version in the X.X series, e.g. 5.8
• X — points to the latest version in the X series, e.g. 5

The latest version, one minor version before that and the last version before a major version bump are periodically rebuilt by Docker Hub to pull in updates from the base Debian image.

All other version tags are still available, but won’t get those updates so you need to keep your images up to date by running apt update yourself. We encourage you to move to latest Mono releases as soon as they’re available.

Starting with Mono 5.2 we provide a slim variant (e.g. latest-slim ) which only contains the bare minimum to run a simple console app. You can use this as a base and add just what you need.
