AddAutoMapper not found in .NET Core with AutoMapper

Question

Using Visual Studio 2019 I installed AutoMapper version 8.1.0 via NuGet. When I try to add the services.AddAutoMapper() call though in my Startup.cs file I get a compiler error that the method doesn't exist.

I've already tried to do a dotnet clean and dotnet restore from the NuGet console but that didn't help.

Thanks, @LucianBargaoanu. I had installed your base package and didn't realize your NuGet link was pointing at a different package. Also, the "here" link goes to a 404. — Gargoyle, May 20 '19 at 14:37

It is an old thread, however the solution for this problem is to install Automapper.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection package along with your automapper package. I hope it helps.
