Install Mono
At the time of this writing, the current release version of Mono (2.10) did not support Netduino. So you’ll need to compile the leading edge version (2.12) of Mono using the current release version.
Install Mono 2.10
Head over to the Mono download page at http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html and
follow the instructions to install it for your operating system. If you
get there and the version of Mono is 2.12 or later, you can skip the

download it for an older version of Mac OS X, go to http://git-scm.com. On Linux, you should install the
git
package. On Ubuntu Linux, for
example, you can install it by running this apt-get
command at the terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
Now that you have Git installed, open up a terminal window, change directory to wherever you want to download the source to, and issue this command:
git clone git://github.com/mono/mono.git
This will create a subdirectory named mono. Next, change directory into that subdirectory:
cd mono
Then, configure the ...
