NuGet packages in Unity
Hello fellow developers,
I want to use some NuGet packages inside Unity. I achieved that Unity finds the downloaded DLLs according to this article (https://www.what-could-possibly-go-wrong.com/unity-and-nuget/). The nuget.config file can be configured to download the packages into the Plugins folder inside the Assets folder. The Problem is that NuGet downloads multiple versions of each DLL (eg net46, netcore50, netstandard21, so forth) and Unity doesn't like multiple DLLs with the same name. I know I could simply put the DLL inside the Plugins folder by hand, but unfortunately that is not a solution which would please me.
Do you have any idea how I could work around this problem? Is it possible to configure NuGet to just download one DLL for each dependency?
Thank you for your efforts and time.

Your article talks about the problem and the approach to solve it. The author uses a separate Visual Studio project to work around this issue.

You really don't wanna go down the path of configuring Unity to work with Nuget automatically. That article is rather old. With Unity 2018, you get a .net standard 2.0 compatibility level, which should be perfect for Nuget packages. Simply download the package using a separate VS project (as mentioned in the article), then take the netstandard20 version of the DLL and place it in your Unity project.
