.NET SDK Not Found even if it's installed

[AlTech]

Hi,

Over the past 2-3 days, I've been having issues with not being able to use Jetbrain's Rider program because it couldn't detect the .NET SDK. I thought this was an issue with Rider, but I've tried to use the dotnet CLI tool at the command line, and it doesn't work either.

 

It says the .NET SDK isn't installed (the project I'm working on requires .NET 6 or .NET Standard 2) but I have the SDK installed.

 

 

I'm using Linux, specifically Pop!_Os 22.04, and I've never had this problem before.

 

I already have the .NET 6 SDK installed, so I don't know why it isn't detected as being installed.

 

 

 

If you have any ideas for how to fix this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Bear in mind I know shit-all about Linux, but... potential permissions issue?

I had similar problems making Visual Studio Code able to "see" PowerShell modules and it turned out to be because I installed them as admin (obviously) but am running Code as user. Had to modify folder permissions to allow normal users access.

It wouldn't explain why the dotnet CLI tool doesn't work, as that doesn't require sudo, but thanks for the suggestion.

Did you point it to the correct file path of the correct folder of the sdk? 

 

Linux usually configured things easier but when crap goes wrong... Oi is it annoying haha.

I installed it from the package manager.

yes, but does the program your using know to look where you package manager installed it?

You may have to manually point rider to the correct directory. Rider is a bit outdated when searching for newer versions of dotnet on linux.

 

I remember I had face similar issues some years back when upgrading from dotnet core to the newer .NET 5. It needed some manual configuration.

So I did fix it by removing the previous .NET SDK installation entirely and I installed it again using Microsoft's new repo feed for Ubuntu 22.04. They seem to have broken their old repo feed for Ubuntu 22.04.

 

Even with the new SDK install, Rider was refusing to load the project until I decided to delete the solution, make a new solution, and add the existing project to it. But thankfully it is working now. Many thanks to everyone in this thread for the help.
