Implement kpm install

[suhasj]

The command 'kpm install' does not seem to install the specific package as intended. Tried this from the location of the app root which has the project.json but the package is not installed. If this does work, need more pointers for this

Commands tried

• kpm install Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
• kpm install Microsoft.AspNet.Identity -version 0.1-alpha-1030
• kpm install Microsoft.AspNet.Identity -version 0.1-alpha-1030 -s <latest Coherence>

kpm install exists?

[lodejard]

Ah! It does not exist. kpm help install is an old code fragment that was used to test command line switch options, nothing more.

[suhasj]

It is actually a good feature. We can install a single package instead of going through all the packages and the dependency tree for the project.

[davidfowl]

@suhasj you still have to walk the dependency tree, that doesn't change. It's equivalent to adding it by hand and calling restore

[glennc]

We will implement this at some point. Changed the title to reflect that.

[glennc]

To begin with we should implement kpm add <name> <version>

Both name and version would be mandatory, since I am fairly certain we don't allow empty versions in project.json anymore.

The command would simply add the given values to the project.json.

We could add an install command later that calls add and then restore. But add is the primitive that we need to begin with.

[Alxandr]

If you omit version, shouldn't it lookup the latest version, then add that? Like Install-Package does today.

[davidfowl]

It does

[Alxandr]

Ah. Good. I was just commenting on the last comment that said "Both name and version would be mandatory".

[ChengTian]

Hi @Alxandr , for kpm add, it's true that both name and version are mandatory. kpm add is a primitive used by kpm install, which figures out the latest version if version is ignored.
