Description

This applies to the nuget package. The documentation at https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/getting-started/installation.html assumes that the package will be installed in the packages folder. This is no longer true.

I'm filing this for somebody else to take on, since I'm not very clear myself as to how a nuget install of a tool like the console runner ought to be used. In fact, I'm wondering if nuget is the right choice for a tool these days, but that's a different matter. If someone has a clear idea about how to use a nuget install of an executable tool in the net core environment, please take this on!

Research direction

Start with the installation documentation at https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/getting-started/installation.html and verify how the NuGet console runner is installed and used in the .NET Core environment. Done means the instructions no longer assume installation in a packages folder and accurately describe a working console-runner workflow.
