Installing EF to .NET core library project

I am new to .NET core. Trying to get used to it. But its kind of complicated.

I have my poco classes in 'solution.Entity' library project and I want to use them to create a database with EF code first in my 'solution.Data' library project.

But when I try to install Entity Framework via Nuget to my 'solution.Data' project it says 'Package Restore Failed. Rolling back...'

Both projects are .NET Core Library projects.

What do I need to do to be able to use EF in .NET core library projects? It's look like I need some kind of configuration.

Thanks for helps.

There are lots of pieces to getting Entity Framework Core working right. I highly recommend taking a look at the docs. There are dozens of samples that show how to setup a project.

https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework.Docs

http://learn.microsoft.com/ef/

In particular, I suggest this guide. It will talk you how to take your POCO classes and make a database in a .NET Core project. You will likely find it easiest to keep.everything in one project for now and move code into separate libraries once you get more familiar with EF.

Make sure you're installing EF Core. .NET Core has it's own implementation of Entity Framework.

This should be the NuGet package you're installing.
