Hello @Haviv Elbsz ,

Thanks for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

1 know which packages to install in your copied project

If your project  use packages.config reference that is used in some project types to maintain the list of packages referenced by the project, you will find package lists in this file.

Example:

<packages>
	<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.1" targetFramework="net6.0" />
</packages>

If your project uses PackageReference in project files ,please right click the project in visual studio and select edit project file to open project file. And search <ItemGroup> elemet in your .csproj file. Example:

<ItemGroup>
	<PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="13.0.2" />
</ItemGroup>

2 restore nuget package

In Visual Studio on Windows, you can restore packages automatically or manually.Configure Package Restore through Configure the following Package Restore options at Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > General:

Select Allow NuGet to download missing packages to enable package restore.

Select Automatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio to automatically restore any missing packages when you run a build from Visual Studio.

Also, you can restore by using the NuGet CLI

nuget restore <projectPath>

For more information to restore, please refer to NuGet Package Restore

Feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
