The official documentation can be found here.

Stuck in asp.net core tutorial. Trying to use package manager console to add EF Core SQL Server provider does not work

I am following this beginners tutorial on Microsoft’s site.

At this step…

In the PMC, run the following command:
Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

When I enter that command I get these messages and errors..

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

Seems the important one is this…

Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer 6.0.7 is not compatible with netcoreapp3.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1). Package 
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer 6.0.7 supports: net6.0

This tutorial is for asp.net core 3.1.. It seems to be the one they recommend for beginners also. I am at a impass and have no idea how to proceed.

EDIT:
I think this is cus I used Visual Studio 2019 which I already had installed for Unity.. asp.net core 3.1 was the only option available for a new project… I think I need to wipe the existing server from azure, download Visual Studio 2022 and start again with a asp.net core 6 app ?

    I think this is cus I used Visual Studio 2019 which I already had installed for Unity.. asp.net core 3.1 was the only option available for a new project. The solution is wipe the existing server from azure, download Visual Studio 2022 and start again with a asp.net core 6 app. FML.

    I also want to point out that this tutorial is wrong. Earlier in it it says requirement is Visual Studio 2019 16.4 or later.

    enter image description here

    I did read this and checked the version of Visual studio I had installed, I met the requirements so I kept going.

    You can try to install entity framework core through the nuget package manager.
    Rightclick on your project -> Manage Nuget packages. Before installing select the correct version from the dropdown for the netcore app version you are running.
