Where is the DLL with test to run with the nunit3 console generated?

Question

I created a project in Visual Studio for unit testing using the nuget package of nunit. The test runs well in Visual Studio using the test explorer, but i Need to run them using the nunit3 console.

My project is very simple I:

Created a console project in C#
I Installed Nunit and NUnitTestAdapter using NuGet Package Manager.

I create a class called MyMath.cs with the next code:

namespace NunitDemo
{
class MyMath
{
    public int add(int a, int b)
    {
        return a + b;
    }

    public int sub(int a, int b)
    {
        return a - b;
    }
}
}

I create a MyTestCase Class with the following code to test MyMath methods:

using NUnit.Framework;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace NunitDemo
{
    [TestFixture]
    class MyTestCase
    {
        [TestCase]
        public void Add()
        {
           MyMath math = new MyMath();
           Assert.AreEqual(31, math.add(20, 11));
        }

        [TestCase]
        public void Sub()
        {
        MyMath math = new MyMath();
        Assert.AreEqual(9, math.sub(20, 11));
        }
    }
}

I rebuild my solution and using The test explorer panel I can run my test in Visual Studio without problems.

But I need to run my test using the nunit3-console prompt, So, How Can I generate (Or Where Is) a DLL file to run test from the console o using nunit-gui?

I search inside C:\Users\Manuel\source\repos\ConsoleAppForNunit\ConsoleAppForNunit\bin\Debug but there is not a suitable .DLL

There is a Screenshot of that path:

From what you describe, you have never installed the NUnit Console application. You can find it in various places...

If you use chocolatey, use the choco command-line utility to install nunit-consolerunner.
If you prefer to have it installed in a project directory, install NUnit.ConsoleRunner from nuget.org. You can do this within visual studio.
You can download the files from the project site at https://github.com/nunit/nunit-console

Well, I actually have the nunit3-console, is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console for my case. – Eduardo Corona Sep 28 '18 at 21:50
In that case, I don't understand what the problem is. You apparently installed it there using the `.msi` file. Why not jut use it? – Charlie Sep 30 '18 at 00:55
Solved changing the project type from console to class library project. I will add a detailed solution latter. – Eduardo Corona Sep 30 '18 at 01:54
NUnit3-console can run tests contained in either a dll or an exe. – Charlie Oct 01 '18 at 02:47
@Charlie: thanks, I provided the exe and it was able to execute, so it need not be a dll. – Shiridish Apr 13 '20 at 12:20

Where is the DLL with test to run with the nunit3 console generated?
