Are you facing challenges while trying to install NuGet packages in Visual Studio Code without an internet connection? This problem is common among developers who work in environments with limited or no internet access. Fortunately, there is a solution that enables you to install offline NuGet packages effectively. In this guide, we will explore how to accomplish this in a straightforward manner.

Understanding the Problem

The need for offline NuGet package installation arises when you are working in a restricted environment.

Key Components of the Command

dotnet tool install: This is the command to initiate the installation of a tool.

--add-source: This option allows you to specify the file path where your local NuGet packages are stored.

tool-name: This is where you replace it with the actual name of the tool you want to install.

Conclusion

Installing offline NuGet packages might seem challenging, but by using the dotnet tool install command, you can seamlessly overcome this hurdle even without an internet connection. Remember to always ensure that your NuGet packages are available in a local directory, so you can easily reference them during installation.

Whether you're developing in a remote area or in an offline scenario, this method will equip you with the necessary ability to manage your tools efficiently. So the next time you need to install a NuGet package offline, just follow these outlined steps!

Happy coding!
