No Client-Side Package Manager Wizard

Question

User-1080297099 posted

After I install Library Manager CLI globally and initialize the project with libman, which created libman.json for the project, then right click on the project and select "Manage Client Side Libraries", it only opens up libman.json.
How do I get to the wizard interface?
I should be able to do both ways, libman CLI or wizard.
Don't know what happened here.

As far as I know there's no GUI for libman.json in Visual Studio.  You might find Visual Studio plugin.

Yes there is one I've always had it before and it is also the one I am staring at in the book.
I think it's something to do with working through a chapter using all command line commands instead of GUI Wizards to create project and install packages and client side packages and some tool packages.

Are you sure?  libman is relativity new and replaced Bower in VS.  Maybe you're thinking of NuGet?

Anyway, you can open libman by right clicking the project -> Add -> Add client-side library.

Well - was going to show you but the insert image on here is difficult (to say the least).  Can't figure out how to upload it.
