nusave 💾⚡️

Usage

nusave gives you the ability to download and save a NuGet package from nuget.org or any other source, with its dependency tree to your computer for offline use. Here is an example:

nusave -id "Newtonsoft.Json" -version "12.0.3" -outputDirectory "C:\MyLocalFeed"

The command above will bring packages that Newtonsoft.Json depend on, if there are any duplicates, they will be ignored. nusave checks for existing .nupkg files and for hierarchical package folders.

The combination of nusave and NuGet.Server gives you the ability to download all packages needed on your laptop or workstation for offline use.

Installation

Check the releases page for binaries, or build nusave.sln .

Don't forget to add the location of nusave.exe or nusave to the $PATH.

.NET 5 is needed to build and run nusave.

Download nuget packages from a .csproj file

nusave -msbuildProject "/path/to/project.csproj" -outputDirectory "/path/to/output/dir"

JSON output

nusave is able to output the dependency list as JSON without downloading it:

./nusave -id "System.Collections" -version "4.3.0" -noDownload -json
