First, the documentation on Install-Package is here[^].

Next, you're looking for the -Version parameter:

Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views -Version 1.68.0

I installed the package but I don't understand because when I launch software it says: file or assembly not found

Install-Package will not install from a file and you never said what the errors were when doing that.

You also never said how you got the package installed.

On top of that, I've never used the package, and have no intentions to, so you're only route of support is the people who wrote it. You can find the Discussions forum here[^].

I wrote to SkiaSharp now..anyway..I installed package from visual studio console and when I launch software the error is:
SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop not found

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:27am

Then install that package!

Member 14594285 6-Mar-23 8:29am

but it's a file not a package..it's a file inside SkiaSharp.Views package

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:30am

Again, Install-Package will NOT install from a local file.

So, EXACTLY how did you "install" the first package?

Member 14594285 6-Mar-23 8:36am

I wrote in console:
Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views -Version 1.68.0
and then I added to reference file SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:38am

OK, the you do the same thing for the Desktop package:
Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop -Version 1.68.0

Member 14594285 6-Mar-23 8:40am

but it isn't a package, it's a file..

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:41am

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS? YOU CANNOT INSTALL A PACKAGE FROM A FILE!

I gave you the command to type into the damn Package Manager Console.

Member 14594285 6-Mar-23 8:46am

yes but I did it..I wrote in console :
Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views -Version 1.68.0 and package is installed from nu-get..

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:47am

That's where it is supposed to be installed from!

Now you have to change the package name you're installing:

Install-Package SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop -Version 1.68.0

Member 14594285 6-Mar-23 8:50am

but it doesn't exist a package with this name..SkiaSharp.Views.Desktop isn't a package but a file

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Mar-23 8:55am

Well, I don't know what to tell you then. Get ahold of the people who wrote it.
