Upgrade to a specific Package version with NuGet

Question

How can I upgrade a NuGet package to a specific version.

This is similar to Download old version of package with nuget , except I already have a version of the given nuget package installed.

I can't update to the latest version, so I want to update to a specific one.

Do I need to uninstall and than re-install or can I upgrade in one step?

Answer 1

So I think you need to run the Update-Package command by setting the Version flag.

For example:

Update-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 6.0.4

Here's the full command from the documentation for more reference:

Update-Package [-Id] [-IgnoreDependencies] [-ProjectName ] [-Version ] [-Source ] [-Safe] [-IncludePrerelease] [-Reinstall] [-FileConflictAction] [-WhatIf]
