I am new to Linux (literally new- used it a couple of times) and I tried to install mono via yum; but I have gotten an outdated version that don't support .NET 4

How can I install mono 2.10.8?

Well, this is what I came up with and it worked for me:

based on this article:

$yum install bison gettext glib2 freetype fontconfig libpng libpng-devel libX11 libX11-devel glib2-devel libgdi* libexif glibc-devel urw-fonts java unzip gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf libtool make bzip2 wget

$cd /usr/local/src 

$wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-3.0.1.tar.bz2

$tar jxf mono-3.0.1.tar.bz2

$cd mono-3.0.1

$./configure --prefix=/opt/mono

$make && make install

Then I downloaded the MonoDevelop IDE and compiled my program using Mono framework.

Then in Centos I called my program:

/opt/mono/bin/mono /root/MyFolder/MyProgramDir/myProgram.exe "$@"
