How to install JSON.NET using NuGet?

Question

I am trying to download JSON.NET from NuGet.
Is it available? What's the correct command?

Answer 1

You can do this a couple of ways.

Via the "Solution Explorer"

1. Simply right-click the "References" folder and select "Manage NuGet Packages..."
2. Once that window comes up click on the option labeled "Online" in the left most part of the dialog.
3. Then in the search bar in the upper right type "json.net"
4. Click "Install" and you're done.

Via the "Package Manager Console"

1. Open the console. "View" > "Other Windows" > "Package Manager Console"
2. Then type the following:

   Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json

For more info on how to use the "Package Manager Console" check out the nuget docs.
