How do you install JSON.NET?

The installation of JSON.net is very easy. There are three ways you can do it. When you hit the download button on this site you will see the details.

Since I will be using the Visual Studio IDE. I will show how to install it by invoking the Packet Manager console.

Launch Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (this is a free version).

Create a new C# project with the name JsonRead. This creates the folder JsonRead in Solution Explorer and the C# file, JsonRead.cs as shown.

From Tools | NuGet Packet Manager click on the Packet Manager Console as shown.
