Question

Hi,

I just created a new project and tried to install EntityFramework but I am getting the following error. I am using VS2013 Pro.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

PM> Install-Package EntityFramework

Install-Package : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

At line:1 char:16

+ Install-Package <<<< EntityFramework

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], WebException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand

Seems to be connection error to the nuget package source.

Could you please check the package sources are ok: Tools->Options->NuGet Package Manager->Package Sources

I am using VS 2013 Community Edition and it installs EF successfully.

Also I can install EF from Options->Nuget Package Manager->Manage NuGet Packages for Solutions..

 

Hope this will help.

Hi Dave22,

You could try to clear Package Cache then install it again. Or you could search and install Entity Framework from Manage NuGet Packages window.

Hi Fei,

Thanks for your help. I tried to install it from Manage Nuget Packages window but I still got the same error (The remote server returned error: (403) Forbidden)

Hi mostafasydne,

Thank you so much for your help. I checked the package sources as you said. I am not able to see your screenshots but I have the following:

Available package sources: https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/

Machine-wide package sources: https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/curated-feeds/microsoftdotnet/

I also tried to install using Manage Nuget Packages but got the same error.

Nothing I can see except the connection issue with the server.

Can you use NuGut for other package installation, please try some other packages and whether the same issue happen or not.
