Hi Team

I have installed following packages, they appear to exist and have tried to run this command on NuGET console.

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

Scaffold-DBContext "Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB;

Catalog=eNtsaRegistration;

Integrated Security=True" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models.

I am getting an error,

The term 'Scaffold-DbContext' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Step - 1: Install these Packages:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
Step - 2: Run this command in Package Manager Console

If you are using Sql Server Authentication:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=YourServerNameHere\InstanceNameHere; Database=DataBaseNameHere; User Id=YourUserId; Password=YourPassword; Trusted_Connection=True" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models.
or
If you are using Windows Authentication:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=YourServerNameHere\InstanceNameHere; Database=DataBaseNameHere; Trusted_Connection=True" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models.

Hope this helps
