Description

dotnet tool install [package-name] doesn't work.

Error: Cannot find a manifest file.
For a list of locations searched, specify the "-d" option before the tool name.
If you intended to install a global tool, add --global to the command.
If you would like to create a manifest, use the --create-manifest-if-needed flag with the dotnet tool install command, or use dotnet new tool-manifest, usually in the repo root directory.
