Can the NuGet 3.2 package cache location be changed

Question

I have a machine whose C:\ drive has limited space, but I have a large D:\ drive with plenty of space is it possible to change the location of the nuget package cache (I am using nuget 3.x)?

Answer 1

Set an environment variable NuGetCachePath with the value of the path where you want the new package cache.

UPDATE: This answer is from 2016 and is no longer relevant for more modern versions of NuGet. As indicated below by @Mohsen the new Environment Variable to set is NUGET_PACKAGES

Answer 2

You can override the default nuget package cache folder by an environment variable:

NUGET_PACKAGES
