dotnet add package adds a NuGet package reference to a project file and automatically downloads the package. It modifies the .csproj or .fsproj file to include the package reference, making the dependency trackable in version control.
The command integrates with NuGet package sources to resolve packages and their transitive dependencies. Version constraints can be specified to pin specific versions or allow updates within semantic versioning ranges.

--version version

Specific version to install.
