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

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
