Paket Initialize should take care of downloading the bootstrap if it doesn't exist #159

Closed gdennie closed 6 years ago

gdennie commented 6 years ago

Description

Paket must first be manually initialized prior to performing Initialize Paket as per the options in the Tools/Packet Dependencies Manager/Initialize Paket menu, undermining the very notion of initialization.

Repro steps

Create a new solution Select Tools/Packet Dependencies Manager/Initialize Paket

Expected behavior

Paket is ready to update, install, remove, and query packages

Actual behavior

Error: could not locate .paket/paket.exe and .paket/paket.bootstrapper.paket.exe under the folder, c:\projectSolutionFolder\

Known workarounds

go to the command prompt and figure out a way to copy paket.exe into .paket folder in your solution directory. Typically you use curl or git clone the packet repository or copy paket.exe from somewhere else
