NuGet package restore - "Package restore is disabled by default. To give consent, open the Visual Studio Options dialog"

Question

I'm trying to use NuGet package restore from the command line on a build server.

nuget install myapp/packages.config 

However, I get the following error message:

Package restore is disabled by default. To give consent, open the Visual Studio Options dialog.

How am I supposed to do that without installing VS2010 on the build server? (no, I'm not doing that). Is there a registry setting or something? How is NuGet determining that package restore is disabled. Indeed, why is this something that they would even care about making disabled by default?

Answer 1

Another way is adding

<packageRestore>     <add key="enabled" value="True" />     <add key="automatic" value="True" /> </packageRestore> 

to file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\nuget.config.
