Answer 1

I find out the solution for this problem.

Basically you have a .nuget folder at solution level, that folder contains a nuget.exe file that probably is old. A lot of packages might need new version of that file.

1. Open this link: https://www.nuget.org/downloads
2. Download latest version of nuget.exe
3. Replace your .nuget/nuget.exe with this new version.

And try again, I'm confident it will work.
