Package Manager console not working

Question

According to this http://docs.nuget.org/docs/start-here/using-the-package-manager-console I should see the PM prompt and commands like get-packages should work. With my VS2010 the Package Manager Console prompt says

PS E:\myprojectfolder

and none of the commands work - it issues an error saying:

PS E:\project>  get-package -ListAvailable
The term 'get-package' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is co
rrect and try again.
At line:1 char:12
+ get-package <<<<  -ListAvailable
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (get-package:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Any ideas?
