How To Download FSC NuGets

This tutorial will show you how to download D365FSC nuget packages.

Prerequisites

• PowerShell 5.1
• fscps.tools module installed

Please visit the Install as a Administrator or the Install as a Administrator tutorials to learn how to install the tools.

Start PowerShell

Locate the PowerShell icon, if you don't have it on your desktop or in the task pane, we can locate it in the Windows Start Menu. Search for it or type PowerShell.

Import module

You need to import / load the fscps.tools module into the current PowerShell console. Type the following command:

Import-Module -Name fscps.tools

Download NuGets using exact version

If you already know the exact NuGet version (e.g. 10.0.1777.99), you can download packages directly:

$DynamicsVersion = "10.0.39"
$PackagesDirectory = "C:\Temp\NuGets"
$versionData = Get-FSCPSVersionInfo -Version $DynamicsVersion
$PlatformVersion = $versionData.data.PlatformVersion
$ApplicationVersion = $versionData.data.AppVersion

Get-FSCPSNuget -Version $PlatformVersion -Type PlatformCompilerPackage -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -Version $PlatformVersion -Type PlatformDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -Version $ApplicationVersion -Type ApplicationDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -Version $ApplicationVersion -Type ApplicationSuiteDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-ChildItem $PackagesDirectory

Download NuGets using FNO version (KnownVersion)

You can also use the short FNO version (e.g. 10.0.45) and let the cmdlet automatically resolve the correct NuGet version. Use the -KnownType parameter to choose between GA (General Availability) and Latest versions.

$DynamicsVersion = "10.0.45"
$PackagesDirectory = "C:\Temp\NuGets\$DynamicsVersion"

# Download all NuGet packages for the GA version
Get-FSCPSNuget -KnownVersion $DynamicsVersion -KnownType GA -Type PlatformCompilerPackage -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -KnownVersion $DynamicsVersion -KnownType GA -Type PlatformDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -KnownVersion $DynamicsVersion -KnownType GA -Type ApplicationDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-FSCPSNuget -KnownVersion $DynamicsVersion -KnownType GA -Type ApplicationSuiteDevALM -Path $PackagesDirectory -Force
Get-ChildItem $PackagesDirectory

To download the Latest available version instead of GA:

Get-FSCPSNuget -KnownVersion "10.0.45" -KnownType Latest -Type PlatformCompilerPackage -Path "C:\Temp\NuGets" -Force

Note: The -KnownType parameter accepts two values:

• GA — resolves to the General Availability (stable) NuGet version
• Latest — resolves to the latest available NuGet version
