Download all nuget packages to your local server using powershell

by Damiaan Peeters 21. January 2013 09:02

Some time ago I found this script to download the nuget Packages to you local server.  Just for a reference I’ll put it the blog. They way I run this is using the Windows Powershell ISE.

I don’t remember where I got the link from.  But I do know when.  That was when nuget was out and I had no way of retrieving missing packages.  Since then, I run this script to our local NAS from time to time.

The Powershell Source

$feedUrlBase = "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669"
# the rest will be params when converting to funclet
$latest = $true
$overwrite = $false
$top = 1500 #use $top = $null to grab all or a number to get TOP 500 packages
# $destinationDirectory = join-path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments")) "NuGetLocal"
$destinationDirectory = "L:\TEMP\NuGetLocal"

# --- locals ---
$webClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

function DownloadEntries {
param ([string]$feedUrl)
$feed = [xml]$webClient.DownloadString($feedUrl)
$entries = $feed.feed.entry
$progress = 0
           
foreach ($entry in $entries) {
    $url = $entry.content.src
    $fileName = $entry.properties.id + "." + $entry.properties.version + ".nupkg"
    $saveFileName = join-path $destinationDirectory $fileName
    $pagepercent = ((++$progress)/$entries.Length*100)
    if ((-not $overwrite) -and (Test-Path -path $saveFileName))
    {
        write-progress -activity "$fileName already downloaded" `
                       -status "$pagepercent% of current page complete" `
                       -percentcomplete $pagepercent
