Hi Alexandre,


Currently we cannot use our MVC components in Linux with Mono. In Visual studio 2105 there is support for Linux, and we have planned to provide VS2015 support. So we need to check whether we can use MVC components in Linux using VS2015 and we will update you the details in two business days (on August 7th)


We can use our JavaScript components in Linux, expect OLAP and report viewer components. Since those components depends on Syncfusion .NET libraries which cannot be used in Mono.


Please let us know if you have further queries.


Regards,

HariKrishnan

Hi, may we get an update on this? Will we be able to host the Dashboard and Reporting components under a Linux machine? Thanks in advance.

Hi Alexandre,  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

Yes, we have provided support to use ASP.NET MVC Component in Linux with Mono. Please try the below steps to run the MVC components in Linux OS.  

Step 1: First of all, you need to create a flat web application using terminal in Linux. We have referred the following blogs which helps to create a new web application using yeoman generator. Kindly refer below blogs until create a new web application using terminal.  

1)  http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/getting-started/installing-on-linux.html  

2)  http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/878984/ASP-NET-and-Ubuntu ­­­­  

   

Step 2: You need to add our Syncfusion packages in dnx location of your current user. To find the location use this ‘\~.dnx’ command in finder which will available as hidden folder of current user then you can find the Packages folder as a child of .dnx folder. Now place our syncfusion packages into that location.  

   

Note:  Make sure that, newly generated application have referred 1.0.0-rc1-final related packages in project.json file.  

Step 3. After create an application and shipped the packages to dnx folder, you need to include our namespace, dependent files in that application.   

·         Add syncfusion namespace in _viewimport.cshtml under view folder.    
·         Add dependencies in project.json file.  
·         Refer the dependent files in layout page   
·         Add Script manager in Layout page at the bottom of body tag.  
·         Add DatePicker or any of our component in view page   

   

Step 4: Run “dnu restore” command to restore the packages for this application  

Step 5:  To Build the project use “dnu build” command and then pick “dnx web” command to execute, it will build the application and host the application.  

Step 6: By default, localhost: 5000 web application will host, so try localhost: 5000 in any of your browser.  

Please let us know if you have further query.  

Regards,  

Kasithangam
