Working state:

MS Learn -->

PL-400 -->

Introduction to developing with Microsoft Power Platform -->

Introduction to extending Power Platform -->

Exercise - Create a custom API -->

Step 13 - "Right click on the CustomAPILab Project and select Manage NuGet Packages"

I followed all previous steps with every detail. But when I follow the number 13, when I click to the CustomAPILab there is no option for the "Select NuGet Packages"

I thought of installing an extension, but if that's the case, there are many extentions related to Nuget packages.

Thank you for your consideration.

    Currently visual studio code does not have a nuget package manager. You use the dotnet cli instead via a terminal.

    you can use the nuget website to find packages and version numbers of packages

    https://www.nuget.org

    note: I typically just add them to the project file directly via the editor and then do a restore.

    Hi @Antonios Kokiantonis , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Which version of Visual Studio are you using? 

    Do you mean that you can’t find the “Manage NuGet Packages…” like this?

    Please open the Visual Studio Installer > Modify > Individual components > search “NuGet package manager” > ensure that it is installed. If it has been installed, you can try to uncheck the component and reinstall it. 

    Besides, please check that you open a project with the solution file in the Solution Explorer. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
