Is there a way to download packages from nuget.org then do an offline installation into Visual Studio?

Solution 1:

  1. First, download the .nupkg file:

    • Follow the instructions at How to download a Nuget package without nuget.exe or Visual Studio extension?

    • Or use my Google Chrome extension NuTake

  2. Secondly, install the .nupkg file into your project

    • Follow instructions at How to install a Nuget Package .nupkg file locally?

Solution 2:

You can use the NuGet Package Explorer to download packages outside VS.
