Setup NuGet feeds

Setup NuGet feeds

Below are instructions how to modify the NuGet feeds and use private & local folders as the source of packages.

How to use external NuGet plugin to authenticate to the private feed

Most simples way to achieve the desired goal is to use additional NuGet plugin provided by Microsoft: https://github.com/Microsoft/artifacts-credprovider It works well on Windows and OSX for Azure hosted NuGet feeds. Instructions available via the link.

How to manually customize NuGet.Config file

First download the NuGet.exe tool from https://www.nuget.org/downloads

Instructions how to use NuGet packages with the notebooks: https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/blob/main/docs/nuget-overview.md

Add feed with user and password authentication

.\nuget.exe sources add -name "<PrivateNugetFeed>" -source <url> -username <username> -password <password>

Add api-key

.\nuget.exe setapikey <api-key> -source <url>

The above command will result as following NuGet.Config file in your local user folder: C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\NuGet or on OSX /Users/{username}/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config. Additionally, below is an example of using local folder and its content as NuGet feed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
    <add key="LocalFolder" value="C:\Development\CustomNugetFolder" />
    <add key="PrivateNugetFeed" value="<url>" />
  </packageSources>

    <OutotecApiPlatformShared>
        <add key="Username" value="<username>" />
        <add key="Password" value="<password-auto-filled-by-nuget-command>" />
      </OutotecApiPlatformShared>
  </packageSourceCredentials>
