Question

I have just installed VS2012 and have noticed that in the Tools >> Library Package Manager option that Manage NuGet Packages For Solution is missing.

Package Manager Console and Package Manager Settings are available but the option I mentioned is not there.

I attempted to download Nuget and then restart VS2012 but nothing has changed.

Also, when I installed Vistual Studio I included all the libraries available, so I am not sure how I have missed it?

Could anyone tell me how to get the Manage NuGet Packages option onto VS2012?

Answer 1

I don’t know if you can without opening a solution. Once you do go to the Solution Explorer, right click on solution and there is the option as Manage NuGet Packages for Solution. Opening the solution also makes appear extra options in the Tools -> Library Package Manager: Manage NuGet Packages for Solution and Package Visualizer.

Edit

As @atconway said in the comment, you can’t do it while debugging.
