### Gentoo/Sabayon/Funtoo/Calculate
{: #gentoo .anchor }

From portage tree:

emerge fsharp

Alternatively there is an overlay available with current versions of various .NET programs, including F#, FAKE, NuGet and others.

1. Add the "dotnet" overlay from layman. (If you need to set it up, there is a [Manual](http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml) on the Gentoo site.)

layman -a dotnet

2. Now you can build F#.

emerge fsharp

3. (Optional) There are emacs mode and monodevelop bindings, you can chose what you want by setting use flags alike in following example:

USE="+emacs -monodevelop" emerge fsharpbinding

## Option 2: Install from source


1. Get Mono, the cross-platform, open source .NET runtime implementation used by F#. Preferably use a package from your distribution or Xamarin. If this is not possible, [install from source by following these instructions](https://github.com/mono/mono).

Note that if you are installing to a private prefix, [follow these instructions](http://mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments) and ensure `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` includes the "lib" directory of that prefix location and `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` includes the "lib/pkgconfig" directory of that prefix location, e.g.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/mono/lib/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/mono/lib/pkgconfig/

2. Build and install the F# Compiler (open edition) from source. If using a VM or other memory-constrained system, be aware that errors during compilation may be due to insufficient memory (in particular error 137).

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool pkg-config make git automake
git clone https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp
cd fsharp
make
sudo make install

If installing to a different prefix, use the same prefix as for the Mono runtime above.
