Install nuget package in a new project in solution, where package is already used for existing projects

Question

I have a solution, where I use Nuget for managing my packages.

Using Nuget, I have installed ie. entity framework in X projects in a solution. After, I have added a new project, and I want to install the entity framework in my new project.

However, when I open the nuget package manager, I cannot click install on existing packages I use. So how do I install the entity framework in my new projects?

Answer 1

Easiest way would be to use Package Manager Console. Just select your project from the dropdown and run this command:

Install-Package EntityFramework

You can also use Manage NuGet Packages for Solution dialog, maybe that won't show those packages as installed.
