Here’s some of the documentation, but I believe the standard apt mono-devel package is now up-to-date enough that the extra apt source is not necessary.

NuGet.exe is a .NET assembly/executable, so on Linux you'll need to install Mono (https://www.mono-project.com/).

Hello,

I’m interested in the edk2 CI unit tests(https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/.pytool). I tested it in my local. It works well in Windows but does not work in Linux. It looks the NuGet in pytool only has windows version (C:\steven\unit_test_env\Lib\site-packages\edk2toolext\bin\NuGet.exe) but not support the Linux. Below is my detail test steps. Do the edk2 CI unit tests work in Linux?

1. Windows :

c:\steven>py -m venv unit_test_env

c:\steven>cd  c:\steven\edk2

c:\steven\edk2>c:\steven\unit_test_env\Scripts\activate.bat

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>pip install --upgrade -r pip-requirements.txt

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>stuart_setup -c .pytool/CISettings.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>stuart_update -c .pytool/CISettings.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>edksetup.bat

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>edksetup.bat Rebuild

(unit_test_env) c:\steven\edk2>stuart_ci_build -c .pytool/CISettings.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019 -a X64,IA32 -t DEBUG --verbose

…

2. Linux:
