Versions:
Paket is a dependency manager for the .NET ecosystem developed by the F# Community Project Incubation Space, currently distributed in version 9.0.2.0. Designed to supersede the standard NuGet client workflow, the tool handles NuGet packages, GitHub files and entire Git repositories through a single, declarative model that stores all external references in plaintext paket.dependencies and paket.lock files kept under source control. By committing the lock file, teams guarantee that every build—whether on a developer laptop, CI server, or release pipeline—resolves identical package graphs, eliminating “works on my machine” issues. Paket supports transitive dependency resolution, version constraints, and automated binding-redirect generation for large solutions, making it attractive for enterprises that need reproducible builds across dozens of inter-dependent projects. Typical use cases include upgrading a fleet of micro-services to the same patched library, pinning third-party binaries to audited versions for compliance, or referencing a private Git repository that contains shared F# modules. The utility integrates with MSBuild and the .NET SDK so that restore, pack, and publish operations run transparently during dotnet build, while its convert-from-nuget command migrates legacy packages.config solutions without manual editing. Because the F# community incubates the project, updates arrive rapidly; the single published version 9.0.2.0 therefore represents the latest stable release, incorporating performance improvements and compatibility with .NET 8. Classified under Development / Package Management, Paket is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
