Configure the Packages folder

You can configure the folder which contains your packages. The web.config file contains a new appSetting, named packagesPath. When the key is omitted or left blank, the packages folder is the default ~/Packages. You can specify an absolute path, or a virtual path.

<appSettings>
    <add key="packagesPath" value="C:\MyPackages" />
</appSettings>

Add Packages to the Packages folder

You can add and delete packages to the lightweight feed using NuGet.exe. The web.config file contain a new appSetting, named apiKey. When the key is omitted or left blank, pushing packages to the feed is disabled. Setting the apiKey to a value (ideally a strong password) enables pushing packages using NuGet.exe.

<appSettings>
    <add key="requireApiKey" value="true" />
    <add key="apiKey" value="" />
</appSettings>

If however your server is already secured and/or you do not require an api key to perform this operation, set the requireApiKey value to false.
