title: Installing package with Nuget in .NET core on mac
body: <p>I'm using .NET core on a mac with Visual Studio Code. i'm trying to install NewtonSoft.Json to use as a Json parser. The command I use is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nuget install CoreCompat.NewtonSoft.Json -Pre
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use this command in my top level project folder. This leaves me with two problems. Firstly, and most glaring, I am still not able to use the package in my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>using NewtonSoft.Json;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will not compile. Secondly, although this does download the package, it downloads a whole bunch of other stuff too - files like System.Threading, and puts them in my project directory. There are about 40 of these extra files. I already have these dependencies (which I'm assuming they must be) in my .nuget folder (and I'm able to include them in any project). I don't want to clutter up my project folder. How do I properly use nuget to install this package?</p>
