Question

Answer 1

You can use -OutputDirectory parameter of nuget.exe to specify a folder.

example:

nuget install NUnit -Version 3.11.0 -OutputDirectory c:\packages

You need to have nuget.exe in the path enviroment or current folder which is cmd used on. This will output to unpacked dependencies and nukpg files to the selected folder. After this you can just copy the nukpg files to desired location by hand or you can use simple commandline copy script to copy only nukpg files.

There is also a tool named nufetch. it will only download nukpg files, but this tool downloads unnecessary dependency files to. (I recommend using nuget)
