Install DevExpress Blazor Components

2. Register the DevExpress NuGet feed as a package source with the following command:

   dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.devexpress.com/api/v3/index.json -n DXFeed -u DevExpress -p {your-feed-authorization-key}
   

   Note

   Non-Windows operating systems do not support password encryption. To store credentials as plain text on these systems, add the --store-password-in-clear-text option to the command.

   dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.devexpress.com/api/v3/index.json -n DXFeed -u DevExpress -p {your-feed-authorization-key} --store-password-in-clear-text
   

   For more information on managing credentials securely, refer to the following article: Security best practices for managing credentials.
