Nuget package is not compatible, but in the supported-list (StrawberryShake.Tools)

Question

I got this message after creating a new .NET 5-project (in VS2019) and trying to install nuget-package StrawberryShake.Tools. This seems a bit strange, since it says both that it is and it isnt compatible with "net5.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0)"

Error NU1202 Package StrawberryShake.Tools 12.6.0 is not compatible with net5.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0). Package StrawberryShake.Tools 12.6.0 supports:

• net5.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0) / any
• net6.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0) / any
• netcoreapp3.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1) / any

Answer 1

I had the same problem, so I followed the official installation guide instead. The steps are as follows:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to e.g. the project where you want the package to be installed.
2. Run dotnet new tool-manifest.
3. Run dotnet tool install StrawberryShake.Tools --local. The nuget package has now been installed in ~/.nuget/packages and may be used in the project.
