Visual Studio’s NuGet Package Manager

Note

The DevExpress.RichEdit.Core and DevExpress.Printing.Core packages are not available in the NuGet Package Manager when you use the DevExpress NuGet feed URL as a package source. However, you can install these packages from the DevExpress Local package source, Package Manager Console, dotnet CLI, or NuGet CLI.

DevExpress Local Source

If you already have DevExpress Office File API components installed on your machine, you can obtain the Office File API packages from the DevExpress 21.1 Local package source. The DevExpress installer copies all NuGet packages to the C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 21.1\Components\System\Components\packages directory and creates a local NuGet feed within Visual Studio.

NuGet CLI

Use the install command to install the Office File API packages via the NuGet command line-interface.
