Can't restore NuGet Packages

Question

I downloaded a Xamarin Solution from TFS and now need to restore the NuGet packages. I tried to do it like this :

Update-Package -reinstall -Project ProjectName

But it didn't work and I got this message:

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them.

How can I restore the NuGet packages? I tried to manually download android_m2repository, Clean Solution, delete bin/obj, rebuild - NOT WORKING, still :

An error occurred trying to install required android components on Project

UPD : I tried also Update-Package –reinstall - not worked :

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer.

In your personal user folder. The folder should be called ".nuget" — hugo, May 21 '18 at 16:58
Please check whether your VS assemblies are located in the same directory as the one the solution used. Then check whether the nuget packages are located in a relative path to the solution, usually they're in `../packages` but it may not be the case of this particular solution. If all else fails, I suggest taking the least taken path and writing down each reference, then manually uninstalling/reinstalling each one. — Tiramonium, May 23 '18 at 16:50

Right-click on the Solution and click Restore NuGet Packages

Or try running this command in the folder that has your solution file:

dotnet restore

Or

nuget restore

when i did so, i got new error : `NuGet Package restore failed for project -myproject-: Unable to find version '1.0.39.113' of package..` – Сергей May 17 '18 at 13:32
Is that package in a private NuGet feed? If so you might need to get login details or access to the private NuGet feed – Iain Smith May 17 '18 at 13:34

I drop this package and Restore nuget : `All packages are already installed and there is nothing to restore.` but when I try to Build project get error again -> `This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer.` – Сергей May 17 '18 at 13:58
Since "All packages are already installed" what if you clean the solution, delete obj/bin folders, and Unload/reload projects? – VahidShir May 17 '18 at 16:30
dotnet restore works but nuget restore not. what is the difference? – Emil Aug 26 '19 at 20:16
As @Сергей Notes, none of these suggestions does anything at all. – 15ee8f99-57ff-4f92-890c-b56153 Jun 22 '20 at 17:20

I had similar issues once where it turned out that the Android SDK that was referenced was not installed. Maybe look in that direction?

Package restore is primarily enabled through Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio: Check this Screenshot

I just updated my Visual Studio 2017 from 15.6.4 to 15.7.2. It helped with packages, in my case.
