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

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

1. Open a command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory of your project.

3. For OPC Data Client, type the following: dotnet add package OpcLabs.QuickOpc. For OPC Wizard, type the following: dotnet add package OpcLabs.OpcWizard. This command adds OPC Data Client or OPC Wizard 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 or OPC Wizard version. If you want to be sure that you referencing a package for OPC Studio 2024.2 version, use command like dotnet add package OpcLabs.QuickOpc --version 5.81 instead.

4. 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.
