Unable to install package using dotnet

Question

I am trying to add the nuget package dotnet (Microsoft.entityframeworkcore.tools.dotnet). However, it is not installing.

This is what I am receiving in my command prompt:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>dotnet ef --help
No executable found matching command "dotnet-ef"

Running `dotnet ef` won't install anything, this question doesn't make any sense. — DavidG, Aug 09 '17 at 11:15
i cannot install the package through my csproj or nuget packages. — waqas, Aug 09 '17 at 11:18

The tooling for Entity Framework Core is part of the .Net Core SDK. This provides you access to dotnet ef ... commands. You can install the latest .Net Core SDK from here. More information on installing and getting started with EF Core can be found here. The EF Core base library is also part of the meta package of ASP.Net Core (Microsoft.AspNetCore.App).
