Question

nuget.exe restore D:\work\Development\

I received an error

Could not find a part of the path C:\work\Development

When I copy the nuget.exe file to the directory D:\work\Development and run resotre like so

nuget.exe restore

from there it works

How can I make restore work from another directory than the one my solution is in?

Answer 1

What I ended up doing is using restore from with a relative path like so :

nuget.exe restore ..\

Answer 2

You should pass in the path to the .sln file, such as D:\work\Development\mysolution.sln or path to the packages.config file.

Please refer to this doc for how to use the nuget.exe restore command.
