Error on Tutorial Starting with MVC Development

David Pearson asked on August 17, 2021 20:13

https://docs.xperience.io/developing-websites/starting-with-mvc-development Step: 3

I am unable to install Kentico.Xperience.AspNet.Mvc5 in the NuGet package. I tried versions dated back to before the tutorial was written with no luck. The framework is 4.5.

I get the following error: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Could not install package 'Kentico.Xperience.Libraries 13.0.20'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Any ideals?

After some research I found Kentico.Xperience.AspNet.Mvc5 requires .net 4.8. Had to go back a couple of sections to find this.

If you are ever curious about what framework versions a package might support, try using https://nuget.info.

https://nuget.info/packages/Kentico.Xperience.AspNet.Mvc5/13.0.40 shows that under the \lib folder of the package, NET48 is the only folder, which means it's the minimum version you can use.
