Solution

  • I can see two issues in this approach.

    1. Nuget.Server documentation mentions IIS as the web sever; IIS doesn't run on Mac OSX.
    2. And, even if you end up using the native web server of your operating system, you will need WCF support in mono - which looks to be a work in progress.
