Managing NuGet Packages Using the Dialog

This topic describes how to find, install, remove, and update NuGet packages using the Manage NuGet Packages dialog box. To use this dialog box, you must have a solution open in Visual Studio. As an alternative, you can install packages using PowerShell commands. For more information, see Using the Package Manager Console.

Note, for managing packages within multiple projects in the solution at the same time, skip to the section on Managing Packages for the Solution.
