I can’t say if it will work, but OSMC is based on Debian, so you’d need to choose that, rather than Raspbian.
I can tell you that Debian stretch currently has mono v4.
after uninstalling old mono and trying to install debian stretch mono i get the following error:
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
mono-devel : Hängt ab von: libmono-cecil-private-cil (< 3.2.9) aber 5.4.1.6-0xamarin1+debian9b1 soll installiert werden

Hängt ab von: libmono-cil-dev (= 3.2.8+dfsg-10) soll aber nicht installiert werden
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.
translation: all the packages should not be installed but are unmet dependencies.
how do i solve this?
There’s a risk that trying to get around the unmet dependencies will break the system.
If you can live with Mono v4, and can wait a while longer, OSMC will be upgrading to stretch soon.
ok but just one question about your first reply: so osmc is still on raspbian 8 jessie, so i would have to choose that package right?
No, OSMC is on Debian jessie.
ok, i have no idea how to get to version 4, so i guess i will stick with this guide (https://www.htpcguides.com/install-sonarr-raspberry-pi-mono-310/) and install precompiled mono 3 again …
thanx for your help!
Install direct from mono-project repo
sudo echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian/dists/stable-raspbianjessie/main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-devel -y
sudo apt-get install mono-complete -y
sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc -y
Thanks for that.
Last time I looked some months ago the raspianjessie repo was on v5 but the debian one was still on v4, which is why I suggested the raspbian one. Works fine from either.
worked perfectly with debian 8 repo
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo “deb Index of /repo/debian jessie main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official.list
sudo apt-get update
thx for the help!
I’m trying to use Jackett with Sickrage and it needs Mono. I followed the instructions for installing the latest version of Mono (5.10.1) for Debian Stretch (found here: Download - Stable | Mono), but when I then check the mono version using mono --version I see this:
Mono JIT compiler version 3.10.0 (mono-3.10.0-branch/ce003f4 Tue Nov 25 20:18:29 UTC 2014)
And, when I try to run jackett using mono /opt/jackett/JackettConsole.exe I get this error:

04-30 19:19:48 Error Your mono version is to old (mono 3 is no longer supported). Please update to the latest version from http://www.mono-project.com/download/
Can anyone suggest a reason for this and/or advise how to get the newer version installed?
Which mono package did you install?
What’s the output from:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache show <the package you installed>Which mono package did you install?
Step 2 of the instructions in the link I mentioned above said to install mono-devel. Is that what you mean?
What’s the output …
The output is only for the apt-cache command, but no worries.
Can you run grab-logs -A (with a big A) and let us know the URL.
Plus also post the output from cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
I may be incorrect but mono-devel is for compiling code, mono-complete is likely what you want to running code.
Indeed. The blurb for mono-complete says:
This is a metapackage and pulls in the Mono runtime, development tools and
all libraries.
.
Install this package if you want to run software for Mono or Microsoft .NET
which you are not installing from a Debian package.
https://paste.osmc.tv/ififisexob
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-stretch main
Regarding mono-devel vs mono-complete… All the guides I’ve looked at for installing Jackett seem to say mono-devel is required. But, I’ve also tried installing mono-complete and when I did I got the same error.
There’s this line in the installed packages section:
ii mono 3.10-1 armhf Mono 3.10 armhf
which is probably the one it’s picking up. I’ve searched for when mono 3.10-1 was installed but it’s not in the log, so I’d guess it was quite a while ago.
You could try removing the mono package:
sudo apt-get remove mono
I doubt if it will try to remove mono-complete but even if it does, you can always reinstall it.
Ok. That did it. Thanks.
I had tried removing mono-devel and mono-complete several times but I never tried removing mono because I didn’t realise it was another package and don’t remember installing it.
Cheers
