[PowerBI Embedded App] Can't find NuGet manager console

[anushe]

I'm following the App-Owns-Data Embedded Powerbi starter kit using .NET 5.0 and Visual Studio 2019 on MacOS. I have to execute powershell commands (run by entity framework) to generate a database. The problem is that I can't find the NuGet Manager console. I can only open the NuGet package manager but that doesn't allow me to type any commands.

Any ideas or suggestions on how I can resolve this issue are much appreciated. Thanks!

When I try to install powershell, this is the error message I get

Hi @anushe ,

The Package Manager Console is not presently available with Visual Studio for Mac. The equivalent commands, however, are available through the NuGet CLI. Visual Studio for Mac does have a UI for managing NuGet packages. See Including a NuGet package in your project.

I think you may refer to this offical blog to learn more details.

For reference:

Availability of the console
