Nuget CLI in Visual Studio 2017 - How to run?

Question

According to the page at: https://dist.nuget.org/index.html

NuGet 4.x is included in the Visual Studio 2017 installation. Latest NuGet releases are delivered as part of Visual Studio updates.

Batteries are included!

No matter whether I open a Visual Studio 2017 command prompt or the Nuget console itself, running the 'nuget' command results in command not found.

How can I run the nuget CLI with Visual Studio 2017? What am I missing?

Although it says "Batteries are included" on the page you have mentioned, that only refers to how the NuGet package manager is integrated with Visual Studio 2017. The other downloads on that page are for Visual Studio 2013-2015.

If you want the command line nuget.exe in order to create NuGet packages, that is still a separate download on the page you mentioned: https://dist.nuget.org/index.html
