Is there a way to build a project in visual studio for linux sytems? This Github repository () is very useful for my project, in this repository is just the visual studio project files (.sln ,c# source code etc.), I cloned it in my visual studio and want to build it but not as executable but for linux system? Is this somehow possible?

Looking at their documentation (translated to English), the application is built on the .NET Framework, which is only intended to work on Windows-based devices. Their documentation also states it's supported on Windows XP and up, and requires the .NET Framework 4.6 runtime, which Linux can't use.

If it was using .NET (previously .NET Core) you'd be in business, but as is, without a rewrite in .NET, you won't be able to run this or build it for Linux devices.
