@tdykstra this PR is ready for your review. Please let me know what you'd like changed.

john-par · 2019-01-09T20:05:06Z

@tdykstra I forgot to mention that I originally removed the add-scaffolding.png from the article and the repo. The first time I submitted the PR, I got a warning because another article in a different area of the repo was referencing the PNG. I replaced the PNG, but I did not add it back to this article.

tdykstra · 2019-01-09T21:37:26Z

@john-par Sounds good, thanks.

+This step is one of a few steps in this tutorial that you have to do manually. You can install EF 6 automatically using the ASP.NET MVC scaffolding feature. In this tutorial, it's done manually so you can see the steps required to use EF 6. Later, you use scaffolding later to create the MVC controller and views.
