How do you use Package Manager to install packages?

If you need to download, install, upgrade, configure and remove computer programs for a operating system in a consistent manner then Package Manager is the right tool you need. It has all the tools you need. Package Manager uses Windows Power Shell commandlets.

If you have Visual Studio 2017 Community or any of the newer versions, it can be invoked from the View Menu after launching Visual Studio as shown.

When you click on Package Manager Console, the Console opens inside visual studio pane as shown.


You should use 'help' to find what all you can do with it. Here is help just for the install task.

That's all.
