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

Simple fix for me was to make sure there was a dash between update and database, like this: update-database and use lowercase. It may be coincidental, but when I did this in Packet Manager Console, the database actually updated and I got the done message rather than the not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file error.
