Is there a way to get the Lean Open Source Project running on a virtual machine running Linux/Debian?
I copied the project from git to the virtual machine. Then installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 community edition for Linux. This linux machine does not have the graphical client installed, so I need to run the build of the Lean project from a command line. That is where the bomb happens. There are absolutely no changes made at this point to the Lean project copied from git. The Lean project directory looks like this:

Opening QuantConnect.Lean.sln using the command line for Visual Studio looks like this:
Opening QuantConnect.Lean.sln using Visual Studio Code command line produces a gigantic bomb.

Hi Carlarogers,
The virtual machine doesn't have the required NET 5. Instead of installing lean on a VM, we recommend following the advice on this related thread.
Best,
