How to integrate PostgreSql with EntityFramework 6.0.2?

Question

I am receiving following error

The 'Instance' member of the Entity Framework provider type 'Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, Npgsql, Version=2.0.14.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7' did not return an object that inherits from 'System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.DbProviderServices'. Entity Framework providers must inherit from this class and the 'Instance' member must return the singleton instance of the provider. This may be because the provider does not support Entity Framework 6 or later; see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.

Can any one help me

here is my App.Config File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->

  </startup>
</configuration>

I have Npgsql2 version 2.0.14.2 Entity Framework 6.0.2

All the packages are installed through Package Manager by following command

Install-Package Npgsql -Pre
Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre

Thanks
