Download and install a preview release (a.k.a. .Net 5)

1. Create and cd into the directory to download the SDK in

   mkdir $HOME/dotnet_install && cd $HOME/dotnet_install

2. Download the install script:

   curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -L https://aka.ms/install-dotnet-preview -o install-dotnet-preview.sh
   # or "bypass" aka.ms download it directly from the blob storage
   curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -L https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release/install-preview/install-dotnet-preview.sh -o install-dotnet-preview.sh

3. Install that preview version

   sudo bash install-dotnet-preview.sh

Taken from: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/5.0/preview/5.0.0-preview.6-install-instructions.md

Install previous preview

To install previous preview, before executing the install-dotnet-preview.sh, edit the file and change the following variables:

• DEPS_BUILD
• PREVIEW_NUMBER

For example, preview 5 would be:

• DEPS_BUILD="20279.10"
• PREVIEW_NUMBER="5"

While preview 6 is:

• DEPS_BUILD="20305.6"
• PREVIEW_NUMBER="6"
