Installing NuGet Packages using .NET CLI Tools

Note that before installing the NuGet packages, you need to create a .NET 6, 7 or 8 project of the desired type. The NuGet packages get installed "into" the project.

Use this procedure also when your development environment is Visual Studio Code.

In order to install a OPC Data Client NuGet package and reference it from your project:

Open a command prompt.
Navigate to the directory of your project.
Type the following: dotnet add package OpcLabs.QuickOpc. This command adds OPC Data Client package reference to the project file.

The above command actually adds a reference to the package corresponding always to the very latest OPC Data Client version. If you want to be sure that you referencing a package for OPC Data Client 2024.1, use dotnet add package OpcLabs.QuickOpc --version 5.80 command instead.
If you need to add more packages (see List of Component Packages), repeat the dotnet add package command, giving it the package Id as an argument.
