SDK is needed for developing FarNet modules but recommended in any case.

Check for existing installations by these commands:

dotnet --version
dotnet --info

Visual C++ Redistributable

Find this at the installed programs, download and install if missing:

• Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable v14 (x64)

Far Manager

Close Far Manager and start the PowerShell console.

Change to the Far Manager directory

Set-Location "C:\Program Files\Far Manager"

Install packages manually

Given a package Bar, download it as https://nuget.org/api/v2/package/Bar

The downloaded file name is Bar.<version>.nupkg. This is a zip archive, you may save it with the zip extension for easier unpacking.

All needed files are in the folder tools. This folder contains FarHome and may contain FarHome.x64 and FarHome.x86 folders.

Copy FarHome items to the Far Manager home directory preserving the folder structure. For example, by this command in Far Manager:

robocopy FarHome "%FARHOME%" /s

If FarHome.x64 and FarHome.x86 exist then, depending on x64 or x86, copy items of FarHome.x64 or FarHome.x86 to Far Manager:

robocopy FarHome.x64 "%FARHOME%" /s
robocopy FarHome.x86 "%FARHOME%" /s
