Could not install package 'Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat 24.2.1'

I'm Trying do Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView (version 24.2.1) download, but the message below is displayed:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat 24.2.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

How can I update the MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0? How specifically does it work?

Actually, error says that Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat 24.2.1 does not contain assembly for MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0.

So Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat 24.2.1 needs to be updated.

To Fix you problem - your app needs to have its Target Framework set to Android 7.0 (API Level 24) or higher to install it.

You can change it in Project Options -> General -> Target Framework.
