Installing a package on a Dotnet project

The tl;dr is that you run dotnet add package [pkg] in .NET projects. Example: dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json.

As for an example of the Stripe installation, run dotnet add package Stripe.net and after a successful installation you will see the following in the .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <!-- The important reference for Stripe.net -->
    <PackageReference Include="Stripe.net" Version="34.13.0" />
  </ItemGroup>



</Project>
