Failed to install ClosedXML dependency

Question

I need to install ClosedXML dependency to build a C# project with .net framework 4.7.2 but when trying to install I always get the same error: "Cannot resolve dependency 'SixLabors.Fonts'. Sources used: 'nuget.org', 'Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages'"

I have tried everything to install from the nuget package manager

Can you please check for package source url : api.nuget.org/v3/index.json – Creatine

This is my URL: api.nuget.org/v3/index.json – Clearance

Yes, go to the package manager console and put the following command before installing ClosedXML: NuGet\Install-Package SixLabors.Fonts -Version 1.0.0-beta19 – Clearance

Answer 1

What version are you trying to install? I think you should install SixLabors.Fonts first and then install ClosedXML, as the newer versions of ClosedXML depend on it.

I am using version 0.97.0. Can I install SixLabors.Fonts from nuget packages? – Clearance

Yes, In the Manage NuGet Packages UI, check the Include prerelease and it would appear or install it from the console - nuget.org/packages/SixLabors.Fonts – Warty

Answer 2

I faced the same proplem when trying to install ClosedXML today. ClosedXML depends on the SixLabors.Fonts library which is only available in beta at the moment.

To find the library with the NuGet Browser, make sure to check the "Include prerelease" box. You should then be able to find it listed below. After installing SixLabors.Fonts, you should be able to install ClosedXml without any further issues.

"make sure to check the "Include prerelease" box" did the trick. Thanks a lot! – Lactone
