The procedures described in these sections obscure a lot of the details of what the Package Manager is actually doing behind the scenes. The Package Manager window provides a visual interface to install and uninstall packages. The Package Manager installs and uninstalls packages by adding and removing packages as project dependencies in your project’s manifest. When it adds a package, it selects the correct version to install. The version that Package Manager selects doesn’t always match the version you indicated. For more information, refer to Package dependency and resolution.
