dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold

Hi Team

dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "Server=GcobaniM-L\SQLEXPRESS;Database=eNtsaRegistration;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -o Models
dotnet : Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Could not execu... was not found.:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
Possible reasons for this include:
* You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
* You intended to execute a .NET Core program, but dotnet-ef does not exist.
* You intended to r
un a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

I want to create models on my MVC web app, i somehow deleted them accidentically manually and now getting some errors. Below is my special command to execute, i do have these following packages installed already;Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

Install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tool package. EF core Scaffold command found in Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tool, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tool has a dependency of Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. So install accordingly as your dotnet core version.

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design -Version 3.1.3

And

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools -Version 3.1.3
