I'm looking for offline installation package for mono on centOS or Redhat.
I want to run *.exe file on Linux.
All I find is using online repositories but my server is not connected to the internet.
You did not say which version of Mono you are looking for, but you can manually download the most recent "stable" centOS rpm packages from:
http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/
i.e. The current mono-core 64bit .rpm is under m/mono-core:
http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/m/mono-core/mono-core-4.8.0.495-0.xamarin.1.x86_64.rpm
Once you have all the rpms that you need downloaded and copied to your offline server, you can use yum to install them...

On RPM distributions, force the package version in your package manager - all older versions are published in the YUM metadata and should be available.
I have no idea how to go about the above?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to install Phalcon on my RHEL 7 VM. I downloaded files and folders from GitHub and place them on my VM via WinSCP in /opt/ (using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked)
When I move into /opt/phalcon/build/ and try to sudo ./install, I got a notice that PHP 5 is no longer supported, currently on my Red Hat, I have PHP 7.3.11 version running (checked using php -v and config page).
I installed things like php-devel or gcc.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Maybe someone can help me, because I have no idea how to fix it.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Sorry, but phalcon extension package doesn't exist for this PHP stack.
Using the full php stack from "remi-php73" repository or php73 SCL from "remi-safe" will give you "php-phalcon4" package with latest version of this extension.
using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked
Use a proxy, or download packages and install them manually.
Tips: test installation from another computer, connected to internet, to get the full package list. You can even retrieve them later from /var/cache/yum (using keepcache=1 in yum.conf)
For memory, for a proper installation, follow the Wizard instructions
I tried to install mono and monodevelop on centOS 6.3.
After many hours I was able to install mono but failed with monodevelop.
I'm really astonished how difficult and time consuming it is, to get a recent mono/monodevelop version on linux installed.
Is there nobody willing to write and maintain an install/compile tutorial to get the most recent mono/monodevelop/monodata/ASP.NET MVC/... version on the major linux distributions (Centos, Ubuntu, Suse, Debian) installed?
I think many people developing on Windows (with limited linux knowledge) would like to start using mono, if the boarding hurdle would be somehow lower.
It may be the most important to make Mono more used and more visible.
Please, write a tested tutorial (script) for compiling mono/monodevelop.
Thank you!
I have created a project on Open Build Service, which produces builds of the latest MonoDevelop 4.0.10 for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora.
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:tpokorra:mono
For installation instructions with apt-get or yum, see:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
I hope this will increase the usage of MonoDevelop on Linux Desktop environments.
Monodevelop 4.
If you use any *buntu. Check this.
"You can open up the terminal and install it via the following:
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install monodevelop-latest"

Xamarin should be doing a better job at publishing the linux packages in a one-click manner. I don't care what linux distro (SuSE, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu etc) - just pick any one as the supported one and publish for it. It seemed that it used to be SuSE but even that has old packages as seen within Zypper/YaST.
Update Mono framework
Having said that, to update the Mono framework itself, without letting go of the package managers try this. This will work as long as the project dutifully publishes the RPMs. You don't want to build from source since it's a more fickle process and the setup distracts from your real objective (i.e. develop).
Obviously, please replace the URL below to what will be latest by the time you're reading this.
mkdir mono-rpms
cd mono-rpms
wget --reject "index.html*" -nd -r -e robots=off --no-parent http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.2.3/linux/x64/
sudo zypper install *rpm
Update MonoDevelop (the IDE)
Timotheus Pokorra's answer indicates he's filling in some of the usability void left by Xamarin (Thanks Timotheus!!). You can install MonoDevelop via
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
Note that on SuSE I get the error
Problem: nothing provides liberation-mono-fonts needed by mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install monodevelop-opt-4.0.12-5.2.x86_64
Solution 2: break mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
I (very reluctantly) selected to break the dependency. Note that I already had liberation-fonts (via sudo zypper install liberation-fonts). I don't know if its the same/different as liberation-mono-fonts. Anyway, hope Timotheus fixes it when he has a moment.
I'm not sure if you've already seen this, but this may help:

The most common problem that new developers have when coming to Linux from systems like Windows is not properly setting up their environment variables and so when they do the standard ./configure && make && make install routine, when it involves a number of source packages (like Mono does), any package that depends on the core package won't pick up the correct location for that base package.
Your question really doesn't explain what parts you found confusing or difficult so it's hard to address those issues.
For people unfamiliar with setting up Linux systems, it may be easier if you just go with a system like Ubuntu which has fairly recent pre-built packages (although not the latest - I don't think any Linux system keeps up with Mono releases) rather than wrestling with the learning curve of how to build everything yourself.
It is confirmed that in the near future Xamarin will support Linux and provide binaries (mono and mainline applications) for Debian and Centos derivatives, and their are already packages for Debian and Centos derivatives for technical preview. So cheers and no more pain of compiling and even parallel mono installaions.It can not get more easy than this. Check here
I am trying to install fuse via yum on our RHEL5 instance. Its not available in my yum list.
After checking, some sites suggests enabling rpmforge repo will provide the package in yum to install. I enabled rpmforge repo (latest for RHEL5), but there is no fuse in that as well.
I tried with EPEL repo as well, same result.
Can anyone help me to find the root cause of this?
Note: I can install fuse using src, but that is not working for the other software I am trying to install (s3fs), that's why I need the yum to get working so that I would have all the latest packages needed.
Thanks for the help.

FUSE (kmod-fuse) has moved from RPMforge to ELRepo, since ELRepo focusses on hardware enablement for RHEL and derivative distributions (like CentOS or Scientific Linux).

Beware that in more recent releases of RHEL5, FUSE is part of the kernel.
I'm new to Linux but have to port a asp.net app to Linux platform. (CentOS 5.2)
I downloaded the mono source files and manually build them on my dev box, because there's no aviable Binary package for CentOS 5.2 (almost the same as RedHat), the app works well on the dev box.
The next step is to setup the production server, which has minimal libraries installed.
My question is... how to make the Mono binary files into a install package so I don't need to download and build them in the production server.
(My dev box is the same configuration as the production one)
I have tried to copy all mono related files into the server, but with no luck... May I missed some files or some settings...
You can still get binary RPMS here
EDIT:
Recently, Mono announced support for RHEL/CentOS. You can get packages from them here.
