title: Using Entity Framework on Ubuntu 16.04
body: <p>I have successfully created a asp.net core mvc application that is hosted on a Ubuntu Linux server. The website runs and works properly.</p>
  
  <p>Today I added Entity Framework to my project. I can post data to my database and retrieve it on my windows machine, so that is working.</p>
  
  <p>When I move my project to my Ubuntu machine, the website works but when I try to access pages that require my database I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PlatformNotSupportedException: LocalDB is not supported on this Platform.
  System.Data.SqlClient.SNI.LocalDB.GetLocalDBConnectionString(string localDbInstance)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing Entity Framework/SQL_Server packages on my Ubuntu machine or is there another cause?</p>
