Error installing dotnet core on AWS Linux using dotnet.bootstrap.py

General

When trying to install: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/tools/dotnet-bootstrap/dotnet.bootstrap.py on AWS Linux instance with OS: Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.03 (AMI ID: amzn-ami-hvm-2017.03.1.20170623-x86_64-gp2 (ami-327f5352)), I am getting the following:

** ROVER FORCED SETTINGS CHANGE: DEV MODE 'ON'

Can you try with this patch: https://gist.github.com/omajid/90ebbd58cc54473d2a295c261451c166 ?

Thanks. That fixed the original error. But now I get the following:

We're trying to move away from dotnet.bootstrap.py and it's note really maintained anymore. The preferred approach is https://github.com/dotnet/source-build. Can you give that a try and see if it works for you?

Please file an issue @ https://github.com/dotnet/source-build if it doesn't work for your case. We're deprecating dotnet.bootstrap.py.
