I am new to Windows powershell. I tried some ad-hoc queries to test the package-providers and their respective providers. So far I managed to install Chocolatey and Nuget.
When I try to see the packages available through Nuget, the command does not return anything.
I tried the same command (find-package -provider) with Chocolatey, and this time the list of packages available was sucessfully displayed.
What's wrong with Nuget?
There is no NuGet option by default when you do a
get-packagesource
By default PSGallery and Chocolatey have package sources. NuGet doesn't.
To add NuGet as a package source, you need to run the below.
register-packagesource -Name NuGet -ProviderName NuGet -location https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/
This will then register the package provider NuGet with a package source. When you run
find-package -provider NuGet
You should see the list of packages available.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5693139/what-is-the-url-for-nuget-gallery-to-access-nuget-org-from-vs2010 discusses other api's to use. I tried the v3 one and it didn't work for me. The v2 worked fine.
It is a bit confusing the way it is implemented.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Tim.
