How to User JSON.NET (Newtonsoft.Json 5.0.6) in Window Phone 8

Question

I am getting following error when I try to install the Json.Net package.

Could not install package 'Newtonsoft.Json 5.0.6'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Can anyone suggest how to I use the JSON.Net In windows phone 8. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 For Windows Phone as a Development IDE.

Thanks.

Did you update your NuGet Package Manager? Please update it first and then try — Amit Singh, Jun 27 '13 at 11:41

Ensure your visual studio installation and NuGet are up to date with the latest updates/patches/versions.
Older versions of NuGet don't know about Windows Phone 8.
