When you install the Microsoft.SqlServer.Types nuget package, this should create a new folder in root:

\SqlServerTypes
   |_x64
   |_x86

which should contain the appropriate dll's. It's also auto setup to copy if newer.

Then, make sure your app loads the appropriate assembly:

• For ASP.NET Web Applications: SqlServerTypes.Utilities.LoadNativeAssemblies(Server.MapPath("~/bin"));
• For desktop applications / others: SqlServerTypes.Utilities.LoadNativeAssemblies(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);

Not sure if this works with .NET Core though.
