How to install Moq framework

Question

I plan on using Moq to mock some interfaces in the unit test code I've created. I've already downloaded the latest version of Moq.

My question is how do I install it? Where should I place the Moq.dll?

I've tried searching on the internet, but all I can find are samples of how to use Moq, not how to install it.

Answer 1

The best way to add reference to Moq framework is installing it from Nuget. Also you still can download Moq.dll and add reference to this library (usually I create folder libs under the solution folder, where I put all third-party libraries, which is not available via Nuget).

BTW Another option to install package from Nuget - right click on project references and select Manage Nuget packages.... Then search online for Moq and install it. See why use Nuget over installing libraries directly on my machine

Answer 2

There's no need to install it. Just add a reference to the moq.dll in your project.

But of course you can use gacutil to register the library in your global assembly cache.

c:\path> gacutil /i Moq.dll
