Error installing Swashbuckle Nuget package on asp.net 5

Question

I am trying to install SwashBuckle to an ASP.NET 5 Web API application.

The problem comes during installation where I get the following error:

This is due to the fact that the package is only partly compatible with DNX Core 5, specifically WebActivatorEx which is installed under DNX 4.5.1 and as such the SwashBuckle dll can't get at it as that is installed under DNX Core 5.

Following this answer , I moved both dlls under DNX 4.5.1 as suggested:

This has meant that the solution now builds, however I don't see any of the config add to StartUp.cs to enable and register Swagger. I have been trying to piece this together from examples for ASP.NET 4.5.1 but to no avail.

All I am currently seeing when I browse to http://MyApi/Swagger is a blank screen.

Can anybody let me know how I can register swagger with my API correctly?

Just Add

"Swashbuckle": "6.0.0-beta9"

To your Dependencies in the project.json file. Save the Project.json file and let the NPM Restore do its thing. Not sure why the other lower Stable builds don't work but this one does.
