.NET runtime

Apsim NG has been updated to run using .NET 8.0. This can be downloaded from dotnet.

Further steps

Sqlite has been included as a nuget package in the ApsimNG project and is no longer installed seperately. However if you are using an older version of the source code this may be required.

On Windows, check whether sqlite3.dll is under bin\Release\net8.0\win-x64\publish folder. If not, copy from bin\Release\net8.0\win-x64\ to publish folder.

On Linux, sqlite3 should be installed into system with following command

for Ubuntu

sudo apt install sqlite3

for CSIRO cluster

module load sqlite/3.35.5

Asp .netcoreapp3 requires openssl 1.0.

openssl 3.0 is installed in the Ubuntu 22.04 by default and should be removed and reinstalled with openssl 1.0.
