Path to solution file

Specify the path to your solution file (.sln) where packages are to be installed.

Restore Mode

Select NuGet.exe restore (requires NuGet 2.7+) to restore all packages for an entire solution. The NuGet.exe install command is used to restore packages for versions prior to NuGet 2.7, but only for a single packages.config file.

Restore Options

If needed, select:

• Exclude version from package folder names: Equivalent to the -ExcludeVersion option of the NuGet.exe install command. If enabled, the destination folder will contain only the package name, not the version number.

Packages Sources

Specify the NuGet package sources. If left blank, https://nuget.org is used to search for your packages.

If you are using a TeamCity NuGet feed, select it using the 'magic wand' icon or manually specify the URL from the NuGet Feed section of Project Settings.

If you use packages from an authenticated feed, configure the NuGet Feed Credentials build feature.

TeamCity allows you to authenticate using private NuGet feeds. Read more in NuGet.
