NuGet Package Manager Console
To use NuGet from the Package Manager Console within Visual Studio:
• Visual Studio 2010 – From the Tools menu, select Library Package Manager, and click Package
Manager Console.
• Visual Studio 2012 – From the Tools menu, select Nuget Package Manager, and click Package
Manager Console.
From the console, you can install the AWS assemblies using the Install-Package command. For
example, to install the AWS SDK for .NET assembly, use the following command line:
Install-Package AWSSDK
To install an earlier version of a package, use the -Version option and specify the desired package
version. For example, to install version 1.5.1.0 of the AWS SDK for .NET assembly, use the following
command line:
Install-Package AWSSDK -Version 1.5.1.0
The NuGet website provides a page for every package that is available through NuGet such as the
AWSSDK and AWS.Extensions assemblies. The page for each package includes a sample command
line for installing the package using the console. Each page also includes a list of the previous versions
of the package that are available through NuGet.
For more information on Package Manager Console commands, see Package Manager Console
Commands (v1.3).
