Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
* You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
* You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-ef does not exist.
* You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.
I am getting the above error message while executing the above

Hi @Janvier ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Visual Studio for Mac doesn’t include Package Manager Console. See this document: Console availability for more details.
The Package Manager Console is built into the Package Manager for Visual Studio on Windows. Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac don’t include the console. Visual Studio for Mac has a UI for managing NuGet packages, and the equivalent console commands are available through the NuGet CLI. For more information, see Install and manage NuGet packages in Visual Studio for Mac.
Besides, here's a similar thread: Support for Package Manager Console in Visual Studio for Mac, you can refer to this thread or follow up this thread. I would also suggest you submit a feature request ticket on our Developer Community.
Best Regards,
Tianyu
