We need to pick up the right key for Mono.
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo “deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu xenial main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official.list
It is needed. That we do an update.
sudo apt-get update
Now we are going to install Mono.
sudo apt-get install mono-devel
Mono is now installed on your Ubuntu.
