Just installed the latest version of Rider EAP (163.12057) and tried to create a new solution.

In my Solution Explorer its shows my Solution and (load failed). In the Event Log window I get the error message:

Solution 'FirstSolution' load failed: MsBuild not found on this machine

Any ideas on how I can solve this loading problem? Thanks in advance!

I managed to solve the loading error.

I was missing Mono and found out through this thread here that Rider currently needs Mono 4.6.2.

I followed this guide to install Mono.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mono-devel
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

I hope this will help someone else.

UPDATE: Asp.Net Core

if you'll be using Asp.Net Core, and encounter error about missing xsp.exe you might need to install mono-xsp4 with this command

sudo apt-get install mono-xsp4

    thank you! It's just seems weird at first because I checked the mono lib has the xsp4.exe file linked to an xsp binary in its gac folder. – gnomeria Jun 13 '17 at 22:09

Accepted answer led me to the official guide: Mono-project download

This can help with various other systems (different than Debian). It helped me to get through the process and resolved problem on Ubuntu 18.04.

For Ubuntu 18.04 it is, first Add the Mono repository to your system:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update

then,

sudo apt install mono-devel
sudo apt install mono-complete

For Arch Linux and derivatives you'll need:

sudo pacman -S mono mono-tools msbuild

Invalidate caches & Restart on Jetbrains to apply
