Summary
NuGet (nuget.org) is the package manager for .NET. The NuGet client tools provide the ability to produce and consume packages. The NuGet Gallery is the central package repository used by all package authors and consumers.
More Information
Referencing libraries with Nuget (nuget.org) simplifies project setup and maintenance by centralizing control for version management and maintenance. In addition to supporting .NET assemblies, Nuget packages also support native libraries such as C++ headers, source, and DLLs. This enables Visual C++ projects to consume Nuget packages.
Nuget packages are available for Chant .NET and Visual C++ libraries on (nuget.org) and may be referenced in Visual Studio projects as follows:
- Select the application project in the Solution Explorer
- Right-click the mouse and select the Manage Nuget Packages… menu item.
- Enter Chant in the search bar.
- Select the applicable Chant library and press the install button.
For .NET projects, Nuget automatically includes dependent libraries. For C++ projects, select and install all dependent libraries as they are not automatically included.
Visual Studio 2022 projects with sample applications that illustrate consuming packages are available for download on the Chant downloads page.
Product documentation is updated to provide steps for selecting Nuget packages:
- Audio Search
- GrammarKit
- KinesicsKit
- LexiconKit
- ProfileKit
- SpeechKit
- Speech Manager
- Talk&Listen
- VoiceMarkupKit
- VoiceXMLKit
