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


        

Answer 1

I just had the same problem in asp.net core VS2019

This solved it:

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCoreInstall-Package
Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

Don't forget to set default project in Package Manager Console to your database project in case it differs.

While executing the migrations the default project also seems to play a role. At a later step it helped to install this to my main startup project (not the EF database project):

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
