  <p>leaves me with a problem... when I do </p>
  
  <pre><code>pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dotnet --version
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following statement... and no version</p>
  
  <pre><code>Did you mean to run dotnet SDK commands? Please install dotnet SDK from: 
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&amp;clcid=0x409
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do (as the link suggests) and use this protocol <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxdebian" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxdebian</a></p>
  
  <p>then when I do the install step</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.0.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then the package is not found.</p>
