The answers above are good  but insufficient if you have more than 1 project   csproj  in the same folder    First  you easily add the  PackageReference  tag to the  csproj file  either manually  by using the nuget package manager or by using the dotnet add package command    But then  you need to run the  restore  command manually so you can tell it which project you are trying to restore  if I just clicked the restore button that popped up  nothing happened   You can do that by running   dotnet restore Project-File-Name csproj   And that installs the package
