Search and Select Specific package version using Nuget Package Manager - nuget

How can I search for a specific version of a package using the "Manage Packages" dialog and install in to current project?
I am trying to install "Fluent NHibernate 1.3.0.717", however the search only shows "Fluent NHibernate 1.2.0.712" .
I am aware that I can install specific version using the Package Manager console, but I want to know how can it be done via Manage Packages GUI.

There's currently no way to get a specific version of a package in NuGet Package Manager.
For simplicity the NuGet Pacackage Manager's current behavior is to show the latest versions only. The console offers more control over which versions can be installed.
But, in your case, the dialog should show 1.3.0.717. I filed a bug (#468) against the NuGet Gallery, since 1.2.0.712 is marked as the latest : http://nuget.org/packages/FluentNHibernate/1.3.0.717

Why is the latest stable version of Newtonsoft showing in Nuget Package Manager as 12.0.3 in one project and as 9.0.1 in another?

In my class library, Manage Nuget Packages shows the latest stable version of Newtonsoft as 12.0.3. In another application that references the class library, Manage Nuget Packages shows the latest stable version of Newtonsoft as 9.0.1
What would explain that difference, and how is it fixed in Visual Studio 2019? When I try to compile the application, it fails with the error that the class library's version of Newtonsoft is newer.
EDIT: I think I've found the reason: in the top right corner of the window the package source for the application was not nuget.org but Visual Studio Offline Sources.

Package Manager as 12.0.3 in one project and as 9.0.1 in another?
When you install a nuget package, you should select the right nuget package source.
As it shows that, Visual Studio Offline Sources is your local nuget caches. It is required that you download the corresponding nuget version and then exist in this data source. So it depends on you and not all versions of the package are fully displayed.
nuget.org is the ultimate destination for developers releasing nuget packages. You can find every version of the package here. So you should check this link.
Check and enable that link.
Then, open Nuget Package Manager UI and choose nuget.org and you can find it.

Where is NuGet in VS2017 Community?

Just installed VS2017 Community edition -- I read some doc saying that NuGet is included -- but I don't see it and don't see how to add it. Should it appear basically as it did in VS2015?
You have to find it in the installer, second tab - "Packages", under the subheading "Code Tools"
You can launch the installer from the Tools menu in VS, it should be the first option.
I had the same issue. When I installed VS 2017, I only had Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Package. I can't remember how I figured it out, but I did. What you have to do is:
Open VS 2017.
Select Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings.
In Options, select NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources.
Select + next to Available package sources.
Enter these values:
Name: nuget.org
Source: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
Select OK.
Now, when you run Install Package commands, you'll get what you need.
NOTE: In the Package Manager Console, as your Package source, make sure you select All or nuget.org.
It was included as an option, NOT installed by default.
To install NuGet:
1. Tools > Get Tools and Features...
2. Single Component > Code Tools
3. √ NuGet package manager
4. update.
To find NuGet:
- Project > Manage NuGet packages...
- Tools > NuGet Package Manager
Project or Tools
In Visual Studio 2017,
Click on Tools -> Nuget Package Manager -> Package Manager Console :)
For anyone who stumbled across this question while trying to find out where nuget was installed to use it as a CLI, if you didn't install it individually you need to use it through MsBuild.exe's use of /t:restore to for example restore nuget packages. You'll have to install the individual component if you want the full tool and not just calls to a DLL via MSBuild.

What is the effect of Updating NuGet Package Manager on Existing Projects?

I am working on VS2012 and have issue with installing Twilio Package via NuGet. It asks me to update NuGet Package Manager. I am concerned if updating NuGet Package Manager have effect on all the projects that are running without any issue. What are the effects of Package Manager Updates on existing projects or solution.
Coming from the Python world, I will attempt to see if I can help you here. Is the concern that a specific package will no longer be available to you if you do a global update on your NuGet package manager?
Is it possible then for you to install a specific NuGet version in a virtual machine encapsulating the project where you want to run with the Twilio package?
Otherwise, assuming all of the packages you use are regularly maintained, I'm not sure how an update to a package manager would affect them.

Could not install package 'NuGet.Client 3.2.0'

I'm working with RESTful webservice, getting error while adding package "System.Net.Http";
"The 'System.Net.Http 4.0.0' package requires NuGet client version '3.0' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.8.5.0'. "
So, to resolve above error i'm trying to install "NuGet client" from "Add Package" option in xamarin studio, but this time I'm facing another issue that is;
"Could not install package 'NuGet.Client 3.2.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wp80+MonoAndroid10+xamarinios10+MonoTouch10', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."
please help to resolve this issue.
Xamarin Studio currently does not support NuGet 3. It is currently only supported in Visual Studio 2015.
It is not possible to upgrade Xamarin Studio so it supports NuGet 3 at this time. Installing the NuGet.Client NuGet package does not upgrade NuGet in Xamarin Studio.
I would instead look at using the Microsoft.Net.Http NuGet package which you can install into a portable class library project (PCL) and supports all Xamarin Android and Xamarin iOS projects.
I was able to grab a copy of System.Net.Http.dll from another project and manually add it as a reference to my Xamarin project. I put it in the packages folder and then browsed to it from the edit references dialog.
For people facing problem trying to add System.Net.Http...
I was able to solve the problem by using Microsoft.Net.Http instead of System.Net.Http. In Xamarin studio, Right click on your project > Add > Add NuGet Packages.. > search for "Microsoft Http Client Libraries" and click Add Package.

NuGet - Newbie issue on large enterprise system

I just inherited a large enterprise system that appears to use NuGet.
I have just read the basics on what NuGet is so pardon the simpleness of my questions.
Is there a way to tell NuGet to update and install all the packages needed to run the system? I am right now running and seeing what fails then guessing what NuGet packages are missing.
(No, there was no documentation in the enterprise system or many code comments, ugh)
From the package manager console try Update-Package –Project ProjectName
Visual Studio -> Tools -> Library Package Manager -> Package Manager Console
http://nuget.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Updating%20All%20Packages
If the solution is configured to enable Nuget Package Restore you could also just delete the packages folder and rebuild all which would get everything that you needed. If you need to worry about javascript, configuration, etc... I would try the Update-Package route
