I have a Asp.Net Core Web App(.Net Framework).I am using VS 2015.

global.json

{  
  "projects": [ "src", "test" ],
  "sdk": {
    "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003131"
  }
}

Problem By default, all the nuget packages are referring to the default location C:\Users\XXX\.nuget\packages.

It builds fine though I want to change this folder location to "C:\packages". This is what I have tried so far.

  1. adding "packages" : "C:\packages" in global.json. -- did not work. rather build fails and packages are not resolved.

  2. Adding nuget.config and setting the repository path.

    .\packages -- It did not work. packages are being restored in the default location only.

    why you still use the preview version? .NET Core SDK 1.0.4 already has been released and we even have now `.NET Core 2.0 Preview 2`... – Set Jul 10 '17 at 10:56
  • and look into https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43541859/change-nuget-package-folders-used-by-visual-studio-2017 as looks like it contains the answer to your question as well – Set Jul 10 '17 at 11:03
  • VS 2015 by default adds preview version for core. I am trying the above link options and will update. – PraveenLearnsEveryday Jul 10 '17 at 13:09

Set the environment variable NUGET_PACKAGES

$env:NUGET_PACKAGES='c:\packages'

To make this work with VS, you will need to set in system settings or in your user profile. This will require restarting VS and you may need to logout/login for it to take effect.
