The default folder where C# solutions will save the nuget packages is %UserProfile%\.nuget\packages
.
To change to different one there are 2 options:
Add config to NuGet.config
file:
File locations is %APPDATA%\NuGet\NuGet.config
for user specific, or %ProgramData%\NuGet\NuGet.config
if it's global installation.
Add globalPackagesFolder
settings. I was confused by repositoryPath
after googling which is different thing! Do not be confused, use globalPackagesFolder
setting!
You add settings in config
section like this:
<config>
<add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="D:\YourFolderPath" />
</config>
so whole config file should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
</packageSources>
<packageRestore>
<add key="enabled" value="True" />
<add key="automatic" value="True" />
</packageRestore>
<bindingRedirects>
<add key="skip" value="False" />
</bindingRedirects>
<packageManagement>
<add key="format" value="0" />
<add key="disabled" value="True" />
</packageManagement>
<config>
<add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="D:\YourFolderPath" />
</config>
</configuration>
Adding NUGET_PACKAGES
env variable:
Google in order to see how to do it: google search
After that run command in terminal dotnet nuget locals -l all
and you should see your new folder in global-packages:
http-cache: C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\NuGet\v3-cache
global-packages: D:\YourFolderPath
temp: C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Temp\NuGetScratch
plugins-cache: C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\NuGet\plugins-cache
