i'm trying to install "Install-Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design" into Xamarin Visual Studio 2015, but after it starts downloading, this error occurs

Install-Package : Unable to find package 'Xamarin.Android.Support.Design' At line:1 char:1 + Install-Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PackageManagement.PowerShellCmdlets.InstallPackageCommand

  • Ensure that you have a proper NuGet source defined. You can go to Tools -> Options -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Sources to make sure. i.e.: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

  • Secondly you should double check that your NuGet version is the latest. Go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates and update if you aren't on the latest version.

  • Finally you could also try to manually download the package from https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.Support.Design/ and setup a local NuGet repository to ensure that works. Chances are one of the first bullets should fix this.
