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.

Installation
To use NuGet, install it from the Visual Studio Gallery on MSDN. If you are using Visual Studio 2010 or
later, NuGet is installed automatically.
You can use NuGet either from Solution Explorer or from the Package Manager Console.
NuGet from Solution Explorer
To use NuGet from Solution Explorer, right-click on your project and select Manage NuGet Packages...
from the context menu.
From the Manage NuGet Packages dialog box, select Online in the left pane.You can then search for
the package that you want to install using the search box in the upper right corner.The screenshot shows
the AWS.Extensions assembly package. Notice that NuGet is aware that this package has a dependency
on the AWSSDK assembly package; NuGet will therefore install the AWSSDK package if it is not already
installed.
