Based on the answer from jstar above. I used \ instead of / which fits more to the Windows environment where nuget is at home. My edit of the answer was rejected so I post my own.

nuget list -Source c:\code\packages

Where c:\code is a path to your local code-repository. The packages folder is on the same level like your solution-file (*.sln).

Answer 3

In Visual Studio,

• go to the Project or Solution in question
• right click, Manage NuGet Packages...
• on the left, you will see 'Installed Packages'
• click on this and you will see the list

Answer 4

Get-Package -ProjectName "Your.Project.Name"

Will show the packages for the specified project.

Note that each project will have a packages.config file which is used to track installed packages. If this is altered (specifically if you alter it backwards), the projects may not automatically download the correct package version. In that case, make a note of the packages required and do a uninstall-package, followed by a install-package for each.

Also, backups are your friend! ;)

In addition to all of the given answers, there is also a clean listing in XML format of all installed packages in your Visual Studio project root folder: packages.config:

Answer 6
