ASP.NET Core Hosting

For servers that will host iGovPortal APIs (or other application based on ASP.NET Core), you'll have to install the .NET Core Hosting Bundle.

The .NET Core Hosting bundle is an installer for the .NET Core Runtime and the ASP.NET Core Module.
The bundle allows ASP.NET Core apps to run with IIS.

How to install

caution

If the Hosting Bundle is installed before IIS, the bundle installation must be repaired.
Run the Hosting Bundle installer again after installing IIS.

info

The ASP.NET Core Module is forward and backward compatible with in-support releases of .NET.

1. Navigate to the .NET Download Hub.
2. Select the latest .NET version
3. Download its Hosting Bundle.
4. Install it on each server that will host an ASP.NET Core application.

tip

As our APIs are always delivered in "self-contained" mode, you dont't have to install ASP.NET Core Runtime (or SDK).

You'll have the possibility to skip the .NET Runtime installation following this documentation.
