Installing with NuGet

Telerik maintains a NuGet Feed for registered users.

NuGet is a popular .NET package manager. Official releases and service packs of Kendo UI are available for registered users.

The NuGet Feed provides the following NuGet packages:

• KendoUIProfessional—Kendo UI for jQuery Commercial version.
• KendoUIProfessional.Trial—Kendo UI for jQuery Trial version.
• KendoUICore—Kendo UI Core (contains only the Core widgets).

The Telerik Private NuGet Feed

To use the Telerik NuGet Feed as a Package Source, use the NuGet CLI. Or, use the UI provided from Visual Studio for configuring authenticated NuGet feeds.

The following video explains how you can add the Telerik NuGet feed. If you prefer to do this yourself, follow the rest of this article.

Setup with NuGet CLI

1. Download the latest NuGet executable.
2. Open a command prompt and change the path to where the nuget.exe is downloaded.

3. The command from the example below stores a token in the %AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.config file. Your original credentials cannot be obtained from this token.

       NuGet Sources Add -Name "telerik.com" -Source "https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget" -UserName "your login email" -Password "your password"
   

   If you are unable to connect to the feed by using encrypted credentials, try the alternative approach of storing credentials in clear text.

       NuGet Sources Add -Name "telerik.com" -Source "https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget" -UserName "your login email" -Password "your password" -StorePasswordInClearText
   

   If you have already stored a token instead of storing the credentials as clear text, you could update the definition in the %AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.config file using the following command:

       NuGet Sources Update -Name "telerik.com" -Source "https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget" -UserName "your login email" -Password "your password" -StorePasswordInClearText
   

Setup with NuGet Package Manager

1. Open Visual Studio.

2. Go to Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings, select Package Manager Sources and then click the + button.

3. Choose feed Name, set the feed URL to: https://nuget.telerik.com/nuget and click OK.

   

4. Choose the Browse list of packages.

5. Enter your Telerik credentials in the Windows Authentication dialog.

6. All of the packages that are licensed to the user account are available in Visual Studio Package Manager.

Installing the NuGet Packages

After setting up the source, install the packages either through the Package Manager Dialog or through the Package Manager Console.

Installing with Package Manager Dialog

1. Right click on the Solution or specific project in a Solution and navigate to Manage NuGet Packages.

   

2. Set the package source to telerik.com and install the KendoUIProfessional NuGet Package.

   

Installing with Package Manager Console

1. Open the project/solution in Visual Studio, and open the console using the Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console command.

2. Run the install command:

    Install-Package KendoUIProfessional -ProjectName WebApplication

Substitute WebApplication with the name of your project.

Resources Location

After installing the packages, the content scripts and stylesheets are copied to your application as follows:

• /Scripts/kendo/<version>/—Contains the minified JavaScript files.

• /Content/kendo/<version>/—Contains the minified CSS files and theme images.
