In steps 1 to 3, we navigated through to find the required SDK version for our Ubuntu installation. These commands are straightforward. I have used Ubuntu 16.04 as my operating system. In steps 4 and 5, we used curl to download the security key to the system and to tell Ubuntu that we will be downloading the SDKs from a trusted source. In a fresh Ubuntu installation, we might not have the curl command. So, if you ran into a command not found problem, you can just simply install curl first as in step 4.

In step 6, we used an Ubuntu command to update its package list with Microsoft repositories. Then, in step 7, we updated the source list using the apt-get command. Finally, in step 8, we did the actual installation of .NET Core 2.0 SDK.

In steps 9 and 10, we checked that our installation was all OK to move on.
