Install a Nuget package in Visual Studio Code

Question

How can I install a Nuget Package in Visual Studio Code? I know in Visual Studio, we can do this through the Nuget Package Manager console, but how do I do it in VS Code?

Answer 1

Modify your project.json or *.csproj file. Add a dependency entry with the name of the package and the version desired.

JSON example:

{
   "dependencies" : {

     "AutoMapper": "5.2.0"
   }
}
