Question: I want to download and parse the JSON in my Windows Phone project, so I decided to download `newtonsoft.json` library via Nuget in Visual Studios, but I'm receiving the following:

```
PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
Successfully installed 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.1'.
Successfully uninstalled 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.1'.
Install failed. Rolling back...

Install-Package : Could not install package 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not 
contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Answer: 
Download the component (aka DLL) from here: <http://james.newtonking.com/json>

**Note:** Make sure to delete any previous Nuget traces of the old Newtonsoft component you had. Just to make sure things are clear before you attempt to do this.

* Once downloaded, extract the contents of the compressed file to a folder.
* You will see two directories, `Bin` and `Source`. The one that you
care about is the `Bin` directory.
* You will find additional directories within `Bin`, pick the one that corresponds to your framework of choice. .NET 3.5? 4.0? RT?
* You will find the `Newtonsoft.Json.dll` copy this over to your project's `bin` directory located inside the project's `Debug` folder.
* Open your project in Visual Studio, right click on the `References Folder` under your project name and select `Add Reference`
* Click `Browse` and find the `Newtonsoft.Json.dll`, Hit Apply if necessary and then OK.
This is most likely caused by the source package being incorrect, please see my answer on this question [Package error question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38296006/unable-to-install-newtonsoft-json/44944552#44944552)
