nuget is not a recognized as an internal or external command not working for Visual studio 2015

I am trying to create a Nuget Package. Was in the process of Nuget Manifest file. Got this error while running the command in command prompt nuget spec.

Solution

  • You can't run nuget spec in the Visual Studio 2015 NuGet Package Manager Console. It is only for finding, installing and updating existing packages; you can't use it to create new ones.

    If you are trying to create a new NuGet package, then you will need to use the separate standalone NuGet CLI tool. This executable provides the commands you are looking for. For more information, see the "Install pre-requisites" section of Microsoft Docs' NuGet quickstart guide.
