Tutorial in

http://odata.github.io/WebApi/#01-02-getting-started

recommends to add OData supoort using

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Odata

I tried to install it using NuGet but got error

Could not install package 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client 5.2.3'. 
You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 
'.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any
assembly references or content files that are compatible with that
framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Greatest version avaliable in NuGet is 5.7.0 and smallest 5.2.0

Both of them give this error.

If you are trying to install OData for .NET 4, could you try run this command?

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData -Version 4.0.30506

    Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client (≥ 4.0.20710.0)
    Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core (≥ 4.0.20710.0)
    Microsoft.Data.OData (≥ 5.2.0)
