Starting in Visual Studio 2017, the installer includes the NuGet Package Manager with any workload that employs . NET. To install separately, or to verify that the Package Manager is installed, run the Visual Studio installer and check the option under Individual Components > Code tools > NuGet package manager.
In Visual Studio, use the Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio command and look at the version displayed next to NuGet Package Manager. Alternatively, launch the Package Manager Console (Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console) and enter $host to see information about NuGet including the version.
To use nuget.exe CLI commands in the console, see Using the nuget.exe CLI in the console. The console is built into Visual Studio on Windows. It is not included with Visual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio Code.
Visual Studio 2015 uses various NuGet assemblies but it does not itself include NuGet.exe.
NuGet.exe can be downloaded from the NuGet web site:
