Cannot install Social using Nuget

Vote:
 

I have tried to install Social into a project using Nuget, but it fails -

Install-Package : Error downloading 'EPiServer.Social.Common.1.0.0' from 'http://nuget.episerver.com/api/v2/package/episerver.social.common/1.0.0'.

I tried with the latest version as well - same outcome. I am using .Net 4.6.2 and VS 2015. It is quite annoying as i arrived at this point by following the instructions on the Episerver website:

https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/social/social_platform-overview/Installing-Episerver-Social/

does anyone know why this is happening?

Regards,

Marshall

I am able to download that package from the link http://nuget.episerver.com/api/v2/package/episerver.social.common/1.0.0.

So you should try again.

Hi Dung,

I have tried many times, and have only resorted to posting a question here after seeking answers elsewhere on the internet. Since posting this question I have also tried to access another nuget package from within another Episerver project and have encountered a similar problem, so i can surmise that either a) There is genuinely an issue with the Episerver Nuget feed, or b) there is some other network restriction that is not immediately apparent.

Hi,

What do you get when paste the link  http://nuget.episerver.com/api/v2/package/episerver.social.common/1.0.0 into browsers?

I was able to install that version into Episerver COmmerce project. The log file like below.

I guess that because of your network connection.
