Restore Nuget Packages

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I get a project that’s refusing to build because of missing references. But these missing references shouldn’t be missing because they’re Nuget packages!

Luckily, there’s a handy little command you can run from the Nuget Packager Manage Console. It’s one of those not-so-frequenly-used pieces of information that I need to lookup every time I need to use it… Perfect for a short blog post!

Restore packages for the entire solution:

Update-Package -Reinstall

Restore packages for a single project:

Update-Package -Reinstall -ProjectName
