If you’re trying to scaffold a database in Entity Framework Core for the first time in your project you might get the following error…
The term ‘Scaffold-DbContext’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
To resolve you need to install the…
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
NuGet package. Do this from the Package Manager Console by running the following command…
Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
or by right-clicking on your project and selecting ‘Manage NuGet Packages…’
Be sure to save the project after installing the package before trying the Scaffold-DbContext command again.
