Package Manager Console Visual Studio 2017

Hello,

I’m following this tutorial to get caught up to speed with .Net Core. I want to build a simple CRUD API that talks to a sql database.

I’m stuck in this part here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/get-started/aspnetcore/new-db#create-the-database

I’m not sure where to find the package manager console in Visual Studio for Mac. I’ve tried installing the NuGet Package Management Extension but that still does not let me run the commands written in the guide I linked above.

Can anyone help me with this?

I presume the UI package manager's initial step (listing available packages) is equivalent to Get-Package, so this seems to suggest a general issue with searching for packages rather than installing packages.

Microsoft Visual Studio For Mac

It is the other way around.

You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework.

This lists two facts:

1. Your project is .NET 4.5 based.
2. The package ('Win2D 0.0.10') is incompatible with .NET 4.5.

Therefore you need to target a compatible version of .NET or ask the package's author to support it.

It seems they only target WinRT (metro / phone apps). You won't be able to use it on regular desktop projects.
