dotnet CLI 

The .NET CLI is a command line interface for installing NuGet packages in .NET Standard and .NET Core. While its capabilities are default in .NET Core, it's also applicable to SDK-style .NET framework projects. 

nuget.exe CLI 

The nuget.exe CLI serves both NuGet creators and consumers, offering commands for hosting and installing packages for .NET framework libraries. It's compatible with non-SDK-style projects. 

Package Manager Console 

To use the Package Manager Console, you need the Visual Studio IDE on Windows and familiarity with PowerShell commands. This tool is exclusively for NuGet package consumers. 

Package Manager UI 

This is a GUI interface for consuming NuGet packages in a .NET project, pre-installed in the latest Visual Studio versions. 

Manage NuGet UI 

The Manage NuGet UI is designed for macOS users, running on Visual Studio and accessible to Apple users. It presents a GUI interface, similar to the Package Manager UI tool, for convenient consumption of NuGet packages.
