Package Installation Commands

ALWAYS use .NET CLI commands to add, update, or remove packages. Never manually edit .csproj files for package references.

Adding Packages

# Add latest stable version (RECOMMENDED)
dotnet add package <PackageName>

# Add specific version
dotnet add package <PackageName> --version <Version>

# Add to specific project
dotnet add <path/to/project.csproj> package <PackageName>
