Download old version of package with NuGet

Question

Is there a way to download a previous version of a package with NuGet  not the latest one

User · Answer

As the original question does not state which NuGet frontend should be used  I would like to mention that NuGet 3 5 adds support for updating to a specific version via the command line client  which works for downgrades  too    NuGet exe update Common Logging -Version 1 2 0

Another option is to change the version number in the packages config file  This will cause NuGet to download the dlls for that version the next time you build

By using the Nuget Package Manager UI as mentioned above it helps to uninstall the nuget package first  I always have problems when going back on a nuget package version if I don t uninstall first  Some references are not cleaned properly  So I suggest the following workflow when installing an old nuget package through the Nuget Package Manager    Selected your nuget server   source  Find and select the nuget package your want to install an older version  Uninstall current version  Click on the install drop-down   Select older version   Click Install      Good Luck

In NuGet 3 0 the Get-Package command is deprecated and replaced with Find-Package command   Find-Package Common Logging -AllVersions   See the NuGet command reference docs for details   This is the message shown if you try to use Get-Package in Visual Studio 2015    This Command Parameter combination has been deprecated and will be removed in the next release  Please consider using the new command that replaces it    Find-Package  -Id  -AllVersions    Or as  Yishai said  you can use the version number dropdown in the NuGet screen in Visual Studio
