有没有办法在不创建 csproj 的情况下安装 nuget 包？

Question

I'm looking through the dotnet CLI and nuget CLI to see if there's anything which will download a package from a feed, without having to do a restore against a csproj file.

The reason for this is I have a pipeline which needs to download a nuget package to use something inside it, but I've no application so no need for a csproj.

Is it possible in the command line to simply say: "Download this nuget package to this location?"

Needs to be via nuget because the nuget feed is already configured with an ADO token (trying to avoid having to manage credentials).

You are probably looking for the nuget CLI ( download here )

Once you have downloaded the CLI, you can install packages like so:

nuget install NewtonSoft.Json
