To compile a C# file, you need to have dotnet installed, here is a link with the info on how to install it. Dotnet Then you go to where the file is and put:

dotnet run <file.cs>

(without <> obviously).

Although it is highly recommended that you create a project first and paste your code into the Program.cs file. This way you will avoid unnecessary headaches.

Consider trying an Ubuntu solution which is Mono C# Compiler

First, install the mono-mcs package:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y mono-mcs

Next, compile your C# file:

mcs yourfilename.cs

Finally, execute the compiled program:

mono yourfilename.exe

Install mono.

And then in the console: csc 'location of a .cs file'

To run it: mono 'location of the compiled exe'
