You can use NuGet PowerShell commands to find, install, uninstall, and update NuGet packages. To open the console in Visual Studio, go to the main menu and select Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console command.
Open the project/solution in Visual Studio, and open the console using the Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console command.
The Package Manager Console is a PowerShell console within Visual Studio used to interact with NuGet and automate Visual Studio. You can access the Package Manager Console from within Visual Studio by going to Tools -> Library Package Manager -> Package Manager Console.
The NuGet Package Manager UI in Visual Studio for Mac allows you to easily install, uninstall, and update NuGet packages in projects and solutions. You can search for and add packages to your . NET Core, ASP.NET Core, and Xamarin projects.
A commenter reports this extension crashes VS Community 2019 for Mac version 8.5 (Build 3183). I haven't upgraded to it, so I can't speak to this. Anyone with information/fix/alternate approach, please chime in down in the comments.
At least in Visual Studio Community 8.4.8 build 2, you can find it under Visual Studio-->Extensions, using search term "nuget":
It took me so long to find this I hope it helps someone else find it faster!

Similar to Xamarin Studio, you have to use its dialog,

As there was no cross platform PowerShell, Xamarin Studio lacks of Package Manager Console. It might come one day in Visual Studio for Mac. We will see.
