How to install MySql packages for Asp.Net 5.0 on Ubuntu?

I'm trying to connect to MySql from Asp.Net 5.0 MVC project on Ubuntu 14.04. I managed to get a connection following this example on the mono site. Now I have an MVC project created using the asp.net yo generator. I have included System.Data and MySql.Data.MySqlClient at the top of my model class but I keep getting an error that I'm missing an assembly reference to System.Data but I don't know how to get it.

Solution

  • You can install System.Data and MySql.Data using the following commands:

    kpm install System.Data.Common 1.0.0-beta2

kpm install MySql.Data

    You should now see both packages listed as dependencies in your package.json

    You can browse all the kpm packages on nuget.org
