Note

DevExtreme JavaScript products use native ⁠redistribution channels (such as npm and Yarn) instead of NuGet. For ASP.NET Core controls based on DevExtreme, use our Unified Component Installer or nuget.org / nuget.devexpress.com (⁠Learn more).

Installer-Generated Offline NuGet Feed (Windows)

The DevExpress Unified Component Installer creates a local NuGet feed with DevExpress .NET Framework and .NET assemblies, and registers this feed in your Visual Studio 2019/2022 IDE as a package source. This is the easiest method to install DevExpress products (it does not require manual configuration).

A local NuGet Feed is suitable for those who use Visual Studio or other IDE for Windows and can use the Unified Component Installer.

If you cannot use our Unified Component Installer or your IDE is not Visual Studio for Windows, then use the online NuGet feed.

Follow the steps below to get started:

Download the Unified Component Installer and install the registered or free 30-day trial version of DevExpress products. The installation copies all NuGet packages to the C:\Program Files\DevExpress 25.2\Components\System\Components\Packages directory and configures a local NuGet feed for each installed Visual Studio version.
To locate, install, uninstall, and update DevExpress packages in projects and solutions from the offline/local NuGet package source, use one of the following options:

Tip

Hotfix installations also create a local NuGet feed. Use this feed to test bug fixes in your CI/CD system: DevExpress .NET Products - NuGet Packages & Licensing in Popular Continuous Integration Systems.

You can also obtain hotfixes from the DevExpress NuGet Feed: Install Hot Fixes via NuGet.

NuGet.org Online NuGet Feed (Any OS)

If you are using DevExpress v25.1+, you can now obtain DevExpress NuGet packages from NuGet.org. Our own NuGet server remains operational, but we plan to discontinue its use in future versions. When we release v26.1, we will publish NuGet packages to NuGet.org only.

If you use NuGet.DevExpress.com , we recommend that you migrate to NuGet.org. You will need to re-reconfigure your local and build server development environments (CI/CD pipelines).

DevExpress.com Online NuGet Feed (Any OS)

We recommend to use this method in the following cases:

It is not possible to use the Unified Component Installer.
You do not use Visual Studio for Windows.
You use NuGet for CI/CD purposes, which does not require the installer or IDE.

Follow the steps below to obtain your personal DevExpress NuGet credentials (feed URL or authorization key). Use these credentials to access and install DevExpress NuGet packages.

Navigate to NuGet.DevExpress.com and log into your DevExpress account.
Copy the NuGet Feed URL or feed authorization key to access DevExpress packages using the NuGet v3 protocol (recommended). The feed URL includes your personal feed authorization key (between “.com/“ and “/api”). Use this key as a password if you attempt to access DevExpress NuGet packages and need to enter your credentials.
Register the online NuGet feed in your development environment and install DevExpress packages. Read the corresponding topic for additional information:

Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Rider
Command-Line Interface Tools (such as .NET and NuGet CLI)
CI/CD Systems (such as Azure DevOps)

Note

DevExpress NuGet packages do not include demo applications. You can explore our online demos or use the Unified Component Installer to install DevExpress products and demo apps.

Start a 30-Day Trial Period

You can use your personal DevExpress NuGet Feed to download non-licensed packages. Any packages you obtain will be available to you as evaluation versions.

Your 30-day trial period starts when you first download a non-licensed package. Our website automatically sends you an email to confirm the start of your evaluation period.

When the 30-day evaluation period ends, you lose access to non-licensed packages. To restore access, you can purchase a license or request a trial extension through the DevExpress Support Center.
