How to use NPOI on Linux

Thank you for the contribution from https://github.com/dotnetcore/NPOI

Since NPOI uses System.Drawing.Common, you must install libgdiplus and libc6 on Linux system.

Ubuntu 16.04+

apt-get install libgdiplus libc6-dev cd /usr/lib ln -s libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll

Fedora 23+

dnf install libgdiplus cd /usr/lib64/ ln -s libgdiplus.so.0 gdiplus.dll

CentOS 7+

yum install autoconf automake libtool yum install freetype-devel fontconfig libXft-devel yum install libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel giflib-devel libtiff-devel libexif-devel yum install glib2-devel cairo-devel git clone https://github.com/mono/libgdiplus cd libgdiplus ./autogen.sh make make install cd /usr/lib64/ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll

Docker image - Alpine

base sdk-alpine/aspnetcore-runtime-alpine images

RUN echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories RUN apk --update add libgdiplus

Docker image - Debian

FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1-aspnetcore-runtime RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgdiplus libc6-dev && ln -s /usr/lib/libgdiplus.so /usr/lib/gdiplus.dll
