The term 'Update-Database' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I am using EF5 beta1 and while I was able to run the \"Update-Database\" before. Now that I shut down Visual Studio, I cannot get it to run. I get the following error:

Answer 1

you will get this error when the EF tools are not installed properly.

try the below command in Nuget package manager //Uninstalls and install the same Version of EF

Update-Package "EntityFramework" -reinstall

If you still face the same issue. create a new Web Project and run the below command in nuget.

(Note : no need to create the new Project in the same solution or same location.)

// This will update EF to latest version(including the tools) // if you want to use specific version , use the -version flag.

Update-Package "EntityFramework"

Once this is done, chcek your original project and you can delete the newly created project.
