C#, Accord, FileNotFoundException when try to download MNIST

Quick question.

I want to download a MNIST dataset to my C# project.

In Accord documentation you can read:

Downloads and prepares the MNIST dataset.

public MNIST(
string path = null
)

Parameters
path (Optional)
Type: System.String
    The path where datasets will be stored. If null or empty, the dataset 
    will be saved on a subfolder called "data" in the current working directory.

I think, it will be preatty easy, so according (feel the joke) to the documentation i go into C# Program and write this:

using System;
using Accord.DataSets;
using System.IO;

namespace ML.NET_Mnist
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            MNIST dataset = new MNIST();         
        }
    }
}

As output, i get this:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'SharpZipLib.NETStandard, Version=0.86.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

I cant find any solutions in Google or StackOverflow so i ask you, could you know how to download MNIST dataset and work with it with C# program? Accord-way looks preatty easy, but like you see it not work for me as espected.

There is method named Download, but what is properly URL of MNIST dataset?

I Found Solution, SharpZipLib is not supported by .NET Core, so if you want to use Accord.Datasets in your project, you need to use .NETFramework instead of Core (im talking about console app) because that namespace appeals to SharpZipLib
