Visual Studio is an IDE for Windows, so you can't install it on Ubuntu. You can try to install it with Wine, however, I wouldn't attach too much hope for that.

And there is a free Visual Studio Code which is an extendable text editor and it has a Linux edition. You can install it as a snap:

sudo snap install --classic code

Or, alternatively you can download a .deb package from the Microsoft's website. And install it like:

sudo apt install ./<file>.deb

  • how can i use wine for installing Visual Studio? – qala Jul 01 '19 at 09:52
  • Download the .exe installer for Windows, then install it with `wine .exe`, but it is qualified as "garbage" on the WineHQ database: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35535 Which means, it isn't usable. One more alternative is Monodevelop, if you are developing in C#, which is a cross-platform IDE, but not not as feature rich as Visual Studio: https://www.monodevelop.com/ – Bence László Jul 01 '19 at 09:58
  • after download .exe and download wine then sudo ./visual studio ? it is right – qala Jul 01 '19 at 10:09
