I'm working on a project with Entity Framework in Webmatrix 2 RC, so I need to use Entity Framework v.5 RC because of conflicts between previous versions and .NET Framework 4.5.

The two ways I know to install NuGet packages in Webmatrix are from the NuGet Gallery on the Webmatrix ribbon and from the package manager in ASP.NET Web Pages Administration: either solution proposes only Entity Framework v4.3.1.

I have downloaded Entity Framework v.5 RC with the Package Manager Console of Visual Web Developer and copied the EntityFramework.dll into the bin folder of my project.

This solution works but I wonder if exists a way to install a not recommended NuGet package that doesn't require the use of Visual Web Developer.

You can use nuget.exe or NuGet Package Explorer, both are standalone and lightweight. You'll still have to manually add references to the files though.
