The global-packages folder is where NuGet installs any downloaded package. Each package is fully expanded into a subfolder that matches the package identifier and version number. Projects using the PackageReference format always use packages directly from this folder. When using the packages.config, packages are installed to the global-packages folder, then copied into the project's packages folder.

  • Windows: %userprofile%\.nuget\packages
  • Mac/Linux: ~/.nuget/packages

You can also view global-packages location using below command

dotnet nuget locals global-packages --list

Typical output (Mac/Linux; "user1" is the current username):

info : global-packages: /home/user1/.nuget/packages/

For all folders used by NuGet to manages packages and package information use below command

dotnet nuget locals all --list

For more details

NuGet cache is typically located in ~/.local/share/NuGet/Cache while dnu cache is located in ~/.local/share/dnu/cache.
