Can't install NuGet package through PowerShell

[xhevahir]

Hi,
I'm trying to install using the NuGet instructions, and Powershell gives this error:
Install-Package : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Version'.
At line:1 char:44

• Try {Install-Package Melanchall.DryWetMidi -Version 4.0.0}Catch {$_ | ...

•                                        ~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Install-Package], ParameterBindingException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

I'm new to .NET, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Hi,

Please note that Install-Package with -Version parameter is a command for NuGet Package Manager Console inside Visual Studio. It's not a command for PowerShell.

PowerShell's Install-Package has not -Version parameter. Try to remove -Version 4.0.0 and run command again.

Is it an option to install package for your project with Visual Studio? Or you must do it via PowerShell only?
