How to setup NupenGL and include it in a Visual Studio project

I need to setup Visual Studio with OpenGL for a class. I found a site that explains how to install the NupenGL package through NuGet to get the OpenGL libraries and headers. I follow the instructions and see that everything gets installed to a packages/ folder in my solution folder, but absolutely nothing happens to my project that allows those files to be included.

What do I have to do to include the libraries and headers from the NupenGL package into my project so that it can build OpenGL code?

Be sure that nupengl.core and nupengl.core.redist are listed in your packages.config (look for it in your Project-Explorer on the right). In your project folder there should be also two nupengl folders inside the "packages" directory.

Then type #include "GL in your .cpp file. Intellisense should then show you the path of the GL directory inside your nupengl directory as a tooltip. So just type

#include "GL\freeglut.h"

or

#include "GL\glut.h"

to use OpenGL-Functions in your code.
