-Firstly, **it's not for** adding libraries for your projects (use standard nuget clients). This to providing tools for additional maintenance of your projects and libraries, building processes, debugging, and similar. For all that should be used as a tool for all projects (solution-level) or for each.

 #### Restoring packages inside Visual Studio IDE
 
-The GetNuTool can't use events from Visual Studio by default. However, it can be combined with other our tool for complex work with **a lot of events** of VS IDE & MSBuild:
