How to specify dependency of netcoreapp1.0 on local nuget package?

Question

I'm working with latest release of .NET Core 1.0 ( dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-003121 ) under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I have a local shared library written under Mono ported to .NET Core (NetStandard 1.6) and I use dotnet pack to produce a .nupkg and .symbols.nupkg .

Now I create a netcoreapp1.0 using dotnet new , how can I write dependencies in project.json to add the local dll or nuget package to the references, just like adding the dll to reference as in VS/Mono previously?

I read .net core RC2 using own local Nuget Package: The folder netstandard1.5 contains an invalid version but it seems not to solve my problem.

Answer 1

You need to tell dotnet where it can find the NuGet package. You can do that using a NuGet.Config file, either a local one or a global one.

To set up a directory as a package source locally, create a file named NuGet.Config file in the project directory, or one of the directories up the directory tree from it, containing something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="my-local-source" value="path/to/your/local/source" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

To set up a package source globally, change the global NuGet.Config file instead. On Linux, its location is ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config .

You are almost here. After creating own nuget package you should distribute it using your own Local Nuget Feed . To do this open your NuGet.config file and add your local feed inserting new item into packageSources (path to your local folder with nuget packages):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
    <add key="AspNetVNext" value="https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetcidev/api/v3/index.json" />
    ...
    <add key="LocalFeed" value="<path to your local folder>" />
</packageSources>
