PM> Enable-Migrations
The term \'Enable-Migrations\' is not recog         


        

Answer 1

This issue is occurring because we don't have Entity Framework installed. Please install Entity Framework using the below command.

Install-Package EntityFramework -IncludePrerelease

Once installed, choose the project in the package manger console default project drop down.

Make sure at least one class in your project inherits from data context, otherwise use the below class:

public class MyDbContext : DbContext
    {
        public MyDbContext()
        {
        }
    }

If we don't do this we will get another error:

No context type was found in the assembly

After completing these things you can run

enable-migrations
