how to install the dotnet driver for neo4j on windows 10 using powershell package manager

My goal is to install the neo4j dotnet driver so I can script it from Excel VBA. Hence I am using the windows powershell install package command as shown below.

PS:> Install-Package Neo4j.Driver-1.2.1

and I got the following error message:

Install-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and package name 'Neo4j.Driver-1.2.1'. Try
Get-PackageSource to see all available registered package sources.
At line:1 char:1

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFoundForCriteria,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

I think my problem is that my powershell environment is not configured to find packages using nuget. This is all pretty new to me so any help is appreciated. Here is my current setup: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-packagesource

Name ProviderName IsTrusted Location ---- ------------ --------- -------- nuget.org NuGet False https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json PSGallery PowerShellGet False https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/

When I do a find-package command I only see packages from the PSGallery source event though NuGet is listed as one of my package sources. Here is a partial output from find-package.

Try installing without version specified:

PM> Install-Package Neo4j.Driver

You'll get the latest version (currently 1.4.1).

EDIT - I did some digging. Looks like there's a .net version dependency, and v1.2.1 doesn't appear to work with .net 4.5.2. I just changed a local test project to 4.6.1, and now the v1.2.1 of the driver installs fine. So, I'd suggest checking your .net version (or simply stick with the latest Neo4j driver version).

Also: The way you're specifying the package, that doesn't look correct. Here's how to specify the version:

PM> Install-Package Neo4j.Driver -version 1.2.1
