The package is not fully compatible with dotnetcore now. However there's workaround for this. You have to edit project.csproj like below:

  
   netstandard1.4
   portable-net451+win8
  
  
    
    
    
   

Please refer to this github issue for details:

I think the new Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client version (5.2.4) should fix this, but it's not released yet, maybe in late 2017.
