I'd like to force NuGet to restore my NuGet packages. Going to my solutions directory and type NuGet restore, even with the latest downloaded NuGet.exe doesn't work.
As explained here, I can do this in a Powershell prompt, using the Update-Package command (as I prefer not to use my Visual Studio environment).
However, my Powershell seems not to understand Update-Package, although I have a +5 version:
PowerShell Prompt> Get-Host | Select-Object Version
Version
-------
5.1.19041.1023
PowerShell Prompt> Update-Package -reinstall
Update-Package : The term 'Update-Package' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that
the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Update-Package -reinstall
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Update-Package:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
What can I do in order to launch Update-Package successfully in my Powershell?
Thanks in advance
Standard powershell doesn't ship have NuGet restore functionality.
If you refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/install-use-packages-visual-studio, and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/consume-packages/package-restore, you will see that there are 5 ways to use NuGet.
There is no functionality built into powershell.
Your only options are to build on top of the above mentioned tooling.
