"Restore failed" for Rider's Template Project

I have a problem with my brand new instance of JetBrains Rider. After downloading it and creating the template project "ASP .NET Web Application" I get the following error message when trying to download NuGet packages:

Restore failed 
Restore failed for 14 packages in 1 project

The log is

[Notification][Restore] Restore failed
Restore failed for 14 packages in 1 project

The packages/ folder does not exist.

I installed a couple of other programms (like the .NET Framework and even Visual Studio), I downloaded the nuget.exe and put it in the PATH environment variable. I moved the project around the hard drive because maybe Rider needs special permissions and even created the folder. Nothing helped so far.

When I type nuget restore manually, I get the following essage:

How can I fix this error message and download NuGet packages in Rider?

Solution

  • It seems downloading the nuget.exe and putting it in the PATH environment variable was correct. Additional, I had to add this to C:\Users<username>\AppData\NuGet\NuGet.config:

    <configuration>
  <!-- stuff -->
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <!-- other stuff -->
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

    Then I called nuget restore and the 14 packages were successfully downloaded. I haven't found a manual detailing this steps yet, so I'm not sure if more is missing.
