Setting up a C# environment on linux

Hi all!

I wanted to set up a local environment for running C# on linux (I use open suse leap), much like how the workspaces do. I've found running code locally easier than using workspaces in browser for the other courses on treehouse, and wasn't really prepared for how confusing it would be to set up C# lol

Okay so after reading up on this all morning, I've think I got it working: I used Mono-5.0.1.1.tar.bz2 From here: https://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/ And got the mcs, mono and *csharp commands working once I added them to path.

Phew, am I done? Or are there more things I need/probably should install for following along locally? I got a bit confused and installed dotnet core and VS code too but now understand they're a seperate thing.

Thanks in advance all!
