Install NuGet via PowerShell script

Question

As far as I can tell  NuGet is meant to be installed as a Visual Studio extension    http   docs nuget org docs start-here installing-nuget   But what if I need NuGet on a machine that doesn t have VS installed    Specifically  I would like to install NuGet with a PowerShell script

Here s a short PowerShell script to do what you probably expect    sourceNugetExe    https   dist nuget org win-x86-commandline latest nuget exe   targetNugetExe     rootPath nuget exe  Invoke-WebRequest  sourceNugetExe -OutFile  targetNugetExe Set-Alias nuget  targetNugetExe -Scope Global -Verbose   Note that Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet arrived with PowerShell v3 0  This article gives the idea

This also seems to do it  PS Example   Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2 8 5 201 -Force

With PowerShell but without the need to create a script   Invoke-WebRequest https   dist nuget org win-x86-commandline latest nuget exe -OutFile Nuget exe

Without having Visual Studio  you can grab Nuget from  http   nuget org nuget exe  For command-line executions using this  check out  http   docs nuget org docs reference command-line-reference  With respect to Powershell  just copy the nuget exe to the machine   No installation required  just execute it using commands from the above documentation
