Error installing without version specified

[scottsauber]

When I tried
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-format

I received the following error:

The tool package could not be restored.
Tool 'dotnet-format' failed to install. This failure may have been caused by:

* You are attempting to install a preview release and did not use the --version option to specify the version.
* A package by this name was found, but it was not a .NET Core tool.
* The required NuGet feed cannot be accessed, perhaps because of an Internet connection problem.
* You mistyped the name of the tool.

I have the following SDK's installed

2.1.403 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.505 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.602 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.700-preview-009597 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.700-preview-009601 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.700-preview-009618 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.2.101 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.2.202 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
3.0.100-preview4-011223 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

When I tried to global.json myself to 2.2.2 I received the same error.

When I did the following, it worked fine:
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-format --version 3.0.4

Not sure if this is related to dotnet format itself or if this is a problem elsewhere since I have previews.

Hi @scottsauber, are you still having issues installing dotnet-format?

[scottsauber]

Nope, I'm all good now. I'm chalking it up to running preview bits.
