How to build NuGet client tools

Prerequisites

Visual Studio 2017 with following workloads:
- .NET desktop development
- Desktop development with C++
- Visual Studio extension development.
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 with Visual Studio Extensibility Tools
Windows 10 SDK
Git
Windows Powershell v3.0+

Steps to build NuGet client tools

Clone NuGet/NuGet.Client repository

git clone https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client
Start PowerShell. CD into the cloned repository directory.
Run configuration script

.\configure.ps1
Build with

.\build.ps1 -SkipUnitTest

Or Build and Unit test with

.\build.ps1
Run all test-suites if inside Microsoft corpnet

.\runTests.ps1

In case you have build issues try cleaning the local repository using git clean -xdf and retry steps 3 and 4.

Notable `build.ps1` switches

-SkipVS14 - skips building binaries targeting Visual Studio "14" (released as Visual Studio 2015)
-SkipVS15 - skips building binaries targeting Visual Studio "15" (released as Visual Studio 2017)

Note that if only one of Visual Studio 2015 (VS14) or Visual Studio 2017 (VS15) is installed, neither of the above switches is necessary - the script will build according to the installed version.

-Fast - runs minimal incremental build. Skips end-to-end packaging step.

Reveal all script parameters and switches by running

Get-Help .\build.ps1 -detailed
