Where to download Paket.fsx

I'm trying to load a package using F# scripts on Jupyter notebook environment, using Paket package manager. All of the sample scripts on the web pointing to the use of "Paket.fsx" file.

My question is where do I get the "Packet.fsx" file ?

Solution

  • If you use the "modern" .NET (including F#) Jupyter Notebooks you won't be using paket. Take a look at one of the explanatory blog posts by Scott Hanselman. You'll see that he (it is in C# but that's still valid for F#) always use a special syntax in the cells where imports happen

    It looks like

    #r "nuget:APackageName, 1.0.0"
#r "nuget:AnotherPackage, 2.0.0"

    This does all the package referencing (including all the dark magic that makes .NET Standard work with .NET core in the Jupyter Kernel). There are a couple of Binder notebooks in the source code repository for the .NET Core Jupyter Kernel. You might find more info there.
