About:
Mono is a versatile, cross-platform open-source runtime that enables developers to build and run .NET applications on macOS, Linux, and other operating systems. It provides a complete development environment with a C# compiler and supports various .NET APIs, making it essential for porting .NET software beyond Windows.

Key Features:

Cross-platform .NET runtime and compiler
Supports ASP.NET web applications and services
Compatible with .NET Framework and .NET Standard
Includes MonoDevelop IDE and command-line tools

Use Cases:

Developing and deploying .NET applications on macOS and Linux servers
Porting existing Windows .NET applications to run on other platforms

Alternatives:

.NET SDK – Microsoft's modern, unified platform for building apps; generally preferred for new development on all platforms.
Wine – Compatibility layer for running Windows apps on Linux/macOS, but not a native .NET runtime like Mono.
