Perplexed and Bursty: Installing NuGet Packages in Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Launch_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Launch Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a developer knee-deep in various projects, you&#8217;ve gotta know how to install and manage NuGet packages in Visual Studio. But don&#8217;t panic just yet! The first step is simply to launch Visual Studio, take a deep breath and say to yourself, &#8220;I can do this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Open_NuGet_Package_Manager\"><\/span>Step 2: Open NuGet Package Manager<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ok, now that you have Visual Studio up and running, let&#8217;s move on to opening the mystical NuGet Package Manager. To do this, there are not one, not two, but three different ways to get there! You can right-click on the project name in the Solution Explorer, navigate to the Project menu, or go wild and use the Package Manager Console to type in &#8220;Install-Package&#8221; followed by the name of the desired package. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Search_for_the_Desired_NuGet_Package\"><\/span>Step 3: Search for the Desired NuGet Package<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now for the fun part! Let&#8217;s search for the package you so desperately need. There&#8217;s a handy search bar in the NuGet Package Manager just waiting for you to type in the package&#8217;s name. If you can&#8217;t find it, don&#8217;t worry, just click on the Browse tab and peruse some more packages. Who knows, maybe you&#8217;ll find something even better!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Install_the_Package\"><\/span>Step 4: Install the Package<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve found the package you want (or maybe something even better, who knows!), and now it&#8217;s time to install it. Just click on the package and you&#8217;ll see the blessed &#8220;Install&#8221; button waiting for you. Click it, close your eyes (or don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s up to you), and let Visual Studio do its thing. If the package has dependencies, they&#8217;ll be automatically downloaded as well. You can find both the package and its dependencies in the Installed tab of the NuGet Package Manager.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Verify_if_the_Package_is_Installed_Correctly\"><\/span>Step 5: Verify if the Package is Installed Correctly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The package has been installed, now it&#8217;s time to check if everything is hunky-dory. You can find the package in the project&#8217;s References or Dependencies folder. Alternatively, you can check the Packages.config file, which lists all the installed packages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Congratulations, you&#8217;ve successfully installed a NuGet package!
