User story

As far as I can tell the game runs fine on DotNet 8.0, so perhaps this should be used as the dependency during installation instead

Game

Vintage Story

Linux distro

Ubuntu 24.04

Command

command: install

Further information

Vintage Story installer wants DotNet 7.0 as a dependency, however DotNet 7.0 is now obsolete and no longer supported on modern Linux distros.

A simple solution is to simply install DotNet 8.0 (available in default Ubuntu repo) and then just edit the DotNet version in Vintagestory.runtimeconfig.json

Would it be possible for the installer script to detect Linux versions that don't have DotNet 7.0, install DotNet 8.0 instead, and then edit the config file to put the correct version? Note that I think in my case DotNet was 8.0.11.

side note. When the new release is available, please raise a new issue as we may need to update some code for .net 8

Can this issue please be re-opened? It doesn't appear fixed still.

I've got Dotnet-Runtime.8.0.18 installed and when I try to start the server I am told the server is missing the dependency despite editing the config file and telling it to use the latest version of Dotnet installed.

I can launch the server manually just by running the ./VintageStoryServer file but it won't launch with the LGSM commands as it complains about the missing DotNet dependency and then closes.

The next release should fix this issue as it uses 8.0 but not sure how long that'll be.
