Cannot install "Microsoft.AspNet.Razor 3.2.3" at the nuget package manager visual studio 2015.

Install-Package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Razor 3.2.3'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v5.0', 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.

The Microsoft.AspNet.Razor 3.2.3 NuGet package only contains an assembly for .NET 4.5 so you cannot use it in a MonoAndroid project.

A .NET 4.5 assembly may use an API that is not supported by MonoAndroid. NuGet considers them to be incompatible.

The Microsoft.AspNet.Razor NuGet package can be installed into a project. It may fail if you do not have the Xamarin Portable Class Library (PCL) profiles or or the Mono frameworks installed.
