Metalama comprises several NuGet packages. However, some are only used for testing or troubleshooting and should not be included in your public packages.
Package list
| Package Name | Scenarios | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Metalama.Framework.Redist | Run-Time Execution | This is the only package required to execute code built with Metalama. It does not contain or reference the assets required to build with Metalama. |
| Metalama.Framework | Compiling, Testing, Introspection | This is the typical top-level package for a project that defines Metalama aspects. |

| Metalama.Framework.Workspaces | Introspection | This package allows any application to load a Visual Studio project or solution and to represent its code model and the Introspection of the Metalama process. |
