Question

When you show the Manage NuGet Packages dialog box, it will show the available packages with a lot more information than is apparently available than from the powershell.

In particular, is there a way from the powershell which will list the available packages – or just a single specific package – with the packages they are dependent on, ideally with their target version (ranges)?

Answer 1

Yes, there is.

# shows all available packages
PM> get-package -list

 # get single package info
PM> get-package -list solrnet.nhibernate

# view dependencies
PM> get-package -list solrnet.nhibernate | select dependencies
