Using NuGet packages on Microsoft Visual Studio

Question

I have been trying for 5 days to use a NuGet package on microsoft visual studio. I have watched a bunch of videos and read articles and it looks like you just need to download and update the package from NuGet package manager and then use it. Every time I do this, I get CSO246 errors telling me I'm missing a reference. When I hit add reference it always shows that I have no references. Please help
