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

For me it turns out EntityFramework core was not installed on my project (because i started with blank project). So installing EntityFramework package resolved the problem. Sometimes if EntityFramework installation failed then try to install individual packages one by one

E.g.

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.Design
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
