You can install OR-Tools for .Net either from the NuGet package
manager, build it from source or use the .Net SDK archive.
The NuGet option is easier, so we recommend it unless you plan to modify
the source code or customize the build.

The following guides explain how to use OR-Tools for .Net using the
published NuGet packages:
