Installing Nuget Packages globally

Question

Is there a way to install Nuget Packages globally?

I have a Nuget Package that I would like to use across multiple projects without having to download for each project?

Each project will have its own solution and it will be independent of other project.

Answer 1

NuGet in its current version uses a global package cache.

Have a look at the documentation to find out where it is on your machine. You should also poke around the NuGet configuration file documentation for how to update the global cache location.

Answer 2

Apparently this has been possible for some time... the question has been asked here on SO a couple of years ago. See:
