Target nuget.exe to .Net Core

NuGet.exe

The Elevator Pitch

The current nuget.exe is targeting .Net framework. Users on Linux are using Mono as a workaround.

But Mono is on the deprecation path. It will be more friendly if nuget.exe could be executed on Linux through .Net Core.

A lot of the functionality of nuget.exe has been ported to dotnet nuget which is cross-platform. Does dotnet nuget contain the features you need?

@jeffkl I am expecting nuget install. Some tools are distributed as nupkg. With nuget install, we can easily download and extract them without initializing a project.

Or could you consider porting nuget install to dotnet nuget install?
