Installing UI for WPF from NuGet Package

Updated on Nov 10, 2025

Telerik UI for WPF provides a set of nuget packages that can be used to easily install and upgrade Telerik projects.

This article describes how to set-up and use the nuget packages.

Step 1: Adding NuGet Package Source

The Telerik NuGet packages are available as downloadable .nupkg files that can be used in a local package source, and they also can be installed from the online Telerik NuGet server. The Setting the NuGet Package Source article show how to setup local and online package sources.

This example shows how to install Telerik packages using the online server. This requires you to have an account in telerik.com and also a licensed (or trial) version of the product.

  1. Navigate to the Package Manager Settings menu in Visual Studio.

  2. Set the Telerik server as the current package source. This will prompt you to enter Telerik credentials. The exact credentials are api-key as the username and a NuGet API Key as the password. You can generate a key via the API Keys page in your telerik.com account.

  3. Install the package. Some packages depend on other ones in the server, so they will be installed automatically if needed.
