Note
Some people get this message:
This usually means that for whatever reason, the nuget primary package source has not been added to your nuget package manager. You can
double check this by typing dotnet nuget list source. If everything is as it should, it should at least list an entry with the official
nuget source:
If it doesn't, you can add it by typing in dotnet nuget add source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" --name "NuGet.org".
After this, you can try adding the template package again.
Note
Some people were not able to run the install command before restarting their computer after installing DotNet 9 or Visual Studio.

A big thank you to @Drew-Chase who wrote up the tutorial for Rider for me.
