Description

[Enter feedback here]
The page mentions under prerequisites that 'nstall-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design' is needed.
After installing this (via pmc ) and continuing to the 'Scaffold-DbContext ...' step you will get an error.
This error is solved by installing 'Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools' (via pmc).

A mention of the 'tools' package in the prerequisites might be helpfull so that other users don't encounter this issue.
