Work with PDF Files in .NET Core with Linux and IronPDF

IronPDF now fully supports Linux for .NET Standard Libraries and Core applications. IronPDF fully supports, and is tested on, x64 builds, Ubuntu 12+, Debian 8+, and CentOS.

No code changes are required to support Linux. We do have to ensure that the instance has the relevant packages installed to support PDF rendering.

Linux Automatic Setup

The default setting LinuxAndDockerDependenciesAutoConfig true will automatically attempt to install all dependencies for IronPDF to run on Linux. The first html-to-pdf operation may be longer than usual packages that are installed.

IronPdf.Installation.LinuxAndDockerDependenciesAutoConfig = true;
IronPdf.Installation.LinuxAndDockerDependenciesAutoConfig = true;
IronPdf.Installation.LinuxAndDockerDependenciesAutoConfig = True
VB   C#

This works on Debian and Ubuntu.

Linux Manual Setup

We can also manually install the IronPDF prerequisites for Linux using apt-get or yum

Debian and Ubuntu

apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgdiplus xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf libc6-dev openssl libssl1.0-dev

CentOS Equivalent

yum -y install libgdiplus xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf libc6-dev openssl libssl1.0-dev
