Install AWS Assemblies with NuGet
NuGet is a package management system for the .NET platform. With NuGet, you can add the AWSSDK
assembly and the TraceListener and SessionProvider extensions to your application without first installing
the SDK.
NuGet always has the most recent versions of the AWS .NET assemblies, and also enables you to install
previous versions. NuGet is aware of dependencies between assemblies and installs required assemblies
automatically. Assemblies that are installed with NuGet are stored with your solution rather than in a
central location such as Program Files. This enables you to install assembly versions specific to a
given application without creating compatibility issues for other applications.
For more information about NuGet, go to the NuGet documentation.
