NAME

       dotnet new --install - installs a template package.

SYNOPSIS

              dotnet new --install <PATH|NUGET_ID>  [--interactive] [--nuget-source <SOURCE>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  dotnet new --install command installs a template package from the PATH or NUGET_ID provided.  If you
       want to install a prerelease version of a template package, specify the version in the  format  <package-
       name>::<package-version>.   By  default, dotnet new passes * for the version, which represents the latest
       stable package version.  For more information, see the Examples section.

       If a version of the template was already installed when you run this command, the template will be updat‐
       ed to the specified version, or to the latest stable version if no version was specified.   For  informa‐
       tion on creating custom templates, see Custom templates for dotnet new.

OPTIONS

       • --interactive

         Allows the command to stop and wait for user input or action.  For example, to complete authentication.
         Available since .NET 5.0 SDK.

       • --nuget-source <SOURCE>

         By  default,  dotnet new --install uses the hierarchy of NuGet configuration files from the current di‐
         rectory to determine the NuGet source the package can be installed from.  If --nuget-source  is  speci‐
         fied, the source will be added to the list of sources to be checked.
         To  check  the configured sources for the current directory use dotnet nuget list source.  For more in‐
         formation, see Common NuGet Configurations
