How do I install and setup RESTSharp without NuGet?

Question

I am using Visual Studio C# 2010 Express and is learning. RESTSharp is supposed to be installed by NuGet but NuGet cannot be used with Express version. Can I still install and configure RESTSharp manually, and how?

Get the dll from https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/downloads

and add it as reference to your project

But that link shows that the github downloads were discontinued in Sept 2012. – Reg Edit Jul 11 '15 at 19:05

The NuGet Visual Studio plugin can't be used with Express, but you can install NuGet packages from the command line. You'll need to download the command line bootstrapper from the NuGet CodePlex site.

After installing it, you can just use

nuget Install SomePackageName

and it will fetch the package and its dependencies to local disk. You'll need to add the project references manually though, AFAIK.

Cool will try this! I added reference to the dll from older version. Seems to work, but I will try your suggestion so I can use the newer one. Thanks! – M W May 18 '12 at 02:56

The binaries are also on the github download page. – John Sheehan May 20 '12 at 22:08
