Installing .NET Core on your reMarkable
Obtain a copy of .NET Core
Unfortunately, as of the time of writing, there are no package managers working on reMarkables so we'll have to install .NET ourselves.
Currently, rM.NET is built on .NET Core 3.1, which can be found here. Download the binaries for ARM32.
Transfer .NET Core to your device
Using scp
or similar, like WinSCP, to transfer the archive to your reMarkable.
I recommend transferring it to /home/root/
.
Open a SSH session on your device
Using ssh
or similar, like Putty, connect to the device as root
:
ssh root@10.11.99.1
You can find the SSH password for your device near the bottom of the About page in your device settings.
Unpack the .NET archive
Unpack the archive into a new folder called dotnet
:
mkdir dotnet
tar xzf dotnet-sdk-VERSION-linux-arm.tar.gz -C ./dotnet
Mark the .NET binary as an executable
chmod +x ./dotnet/dotnet
That's it! You're ready to run applications built for .NET Core.
