Download Microsoft .NET 6.0 Runtime full free version for Windows, MAC and Linux

NET (pronounced as "dot net"; previously named .NET Core) is a cross-platform successor to .NET Framework. It is a free and open-source, managed computer software framework for Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. The project is primarily developed by Microsoft employees by way of the .NET Foundation, and released under the MIT License. 

.NET fully supports C# and F# (and C++/CLI as of 3.1; only enabled on Windows) and supports Visual Basic .NET (for version 15.5 in .NET Core 5.0.100-preview.4, and some old versions supported in old .NET Core).

Some software needs .net runtime to install and work properly, like ArcGIS pro 3, when you need to install it you will be asked to have .net runtime 6.05 or greater. The runtime includes everything you need to run existing .NET and ASP.NET Core applications. In this article we have collected all .NET Runtime 6.08 for different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
