FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates nuget for Type Provider development

I want to develop Type Provider.

Following tutorial you need to use FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK.

FSharp.TypeProviders.StarterPack nuget is deprecated, you need to use FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates instead.

So I created F# library project and added this nuget.

But I get the following error:

Package 'FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates 5.2.0' has a package type 'Template' that is not supported by project 'fsharplib'.

I tried different F# libraries: Standard, Core or Full Framework with the same result.

How I can use FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates for building Type Provider?

type-providers nuget-package f#

FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates is not a library package, it's a dotnet template: you use it to create a type provider solution.

To install it, run this in a console: dotnet new -i FSharp.TypeProviders.Templates

Then, to create a type provider solution, run: dotnet new typeprovider -o <project_name>

Unfortunately nuget.org doesn't recognize these types of packages, so it gives incorrect instructions.
