Facing Issue while installing coverlet.Console

[sudhach123]

Hi Everyone
We are facing issue while installing coverlet. Console package in our application.
Background:We are trying to consume the nightly build of Coverlet as we have been reported a few vulnerabilities, and we found that the reported path is not in our application, but rather in Coverlet.
Path for reference:/app/DotNetRestoreDirectory/coverlet.collector/6.0.2/build/netstandard2.0/coverlet.collector.deps.json

In the process, we are trying to install the Coverlet.Console package to consume the nightly build, but we are getting the error below, and it is not allowing us to install the package.

Error:Package 'coverlet.console 6.0.2' has a package type 'DotnetTool' that is not supported by project 'XXX'.

Error:NU1212:Invalid project-package combination for coverlet.console 6.0.2. DotnetToolReference project style can only contain references of the DotnetTool type .

Could you please help us on this.

You cannot install the dotnet tool the only package you can install is the msbuild and the collector. the coverlet.console is meant to be used as .NET Tool as explained here https://github.com/coverlet-coverage/coverlet?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start
