Another method - a workaround - Just do it manually!

I gave up all solutions provided in Github an SO.
Checking the Manage .NET project and item templates docs I just found out that I can install a package locally.

So if anyone is struggling with this, just download .nupkg the package from the source and use the following command

dotnet new -i c:\some-folder\some-package.nupkg

How to download a package manually

1. Go to Nuget.org
2. Search for your package and click to see the details
3. Locate the Download package link, located at the Info section.
4. Use the command shown above. Cheers! Package installed!
