This is the straightforward way for the ones who want to use a user interface to add dependencies. Right click on your project/library and get it from NuGet gallery.

If you are a command prompt fan, then there itself, you have 2 choices.

• Open the command prompt. Navigate to your project directory and simply fire this command -
  
  C:\<Your project directory> dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore
