Using .NET CLI

If you do not use a Visual Studio's NuGet Package manager or a custom NuGet.Config file, you can also add a new package source by utilizing the .NET CLI add source command.

Use the add source or update source command respectively to add the new source and set the credentials required for the authentication by the Telerik NuGet server.

The command below shows one way to add the Telerik NuGet source using .NET CLI. Replace the placeholders with your Telerik account username and password.

dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json --name TelerikNuGetFeed --username <TELERIK EMAIL> --password <TELERIK PASSWORD> --store-password-in-clear-text

Storing passwords in plain text is strongly discouraged. This article uses --store-password-in-clear-text only for simplicity. For real-world scenarios, use secure methods, such as encrypted passwords or API keys. See Microsoft's security best practices for more information on how to securely store your NuGet source credentials.

Using an API Key

To avoid storing your Telerik account username and password in plain text on your system, use an API key instead:

  1. Generate a NuGet API Key.
  2. Add or update the Telerik NuGet source by using .NET CLI and the generated API key instead of a password:

        dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json --name TelerikNuGetFeed --username api-key --password <THE-VALUE-OF-YOUR-API-KEY> --store-password-in-clear-text
    ```
