How to Install Needed C# Solution's Reference/Package?

I got a C# source code for a project. I wanted to rebuild the project but it needs some Reference/Packages so it gave me build error (missing reference for some packages). I tried to install the package from NuGet one by one. But I couldn't find some packages in NuGet.

So, my questions are:

  1. Is there any other source to find the missing package? I tried to Google, but the package name is only WW and Azuria (and it's not this one https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azuria, the project is not related to German Manga/Anime)

  2. I am new to C# and .Net, is there something like requirements.txt like in Python project (that I can install all the dependencies with pip install -e requirements.txt.

  3. Is it true that I only able to build a class file (DLL file) for C# but not a window application on Ubuntu? I tried to do my work on Ubuntu if possible.

Btw, I checked app.config, I found this lines

      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="WW" publicKeyToken="87d16b8f7b531b65" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-3.5.34.50" newVersion="3.5.34.50" />
      </dependentAssembly>

but I am not sure where to get this WW.

The requirements.txt equilivant is built in to the .csproj file, it is the xml elements that are labeled <PackageReference Include="..." />

Looking at the nuget repository for packages from "Wout Ware" like Peska mentioned shows these packages so there is likely in your csproj file that looks like

<PackageReference Include="WW.Cad.NetStandard" />

When you do the dotnet restore command it gets the packages defined in the csproj file and their dependencies from the internet.
