The required library libhostfxr.so could not be found. Netcore Linux-CodePudding

 ❯ dotnet ef   
A fatal error occurred. The required library libhostfxr.so could not be found.
If this is a self-contained application, that library should exist in [/home/ru/.dotnet/tools/.store/dotnet-ef/6.0.2/dotnet-ef/6.0.2/tools/netcoreapp3.1/any/].
If this is a framework-dependent application, install the runtime in the global location [/usr/share/dotnet] or use the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable to specify the runtime location or register the runtime location in [/etc/dotnet].

The .NET runtime can be found at:
  - https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=arch-x64&apphost_version=6.0.2

dotnet ef not working After running the command is not working so what can I do?

CodePudding user response：

Solved by adding this in whatever part of shell profile (it can be at the end):

# Netcore 6
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools
export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet
export PATH=$PATH:$DOTNET_ROOT

Your shell profile can be in one of these files:

Bash Shell: ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc
Korn Shell: ~/.kshrc or .profile
Z Shell: ~/.zshrc or .zprofile

Don't forget to close and open your terminal, so env variables can load.

Try updating the configuration below and use the latest version of dotnet-ef：

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools"
