Why doesn't XLabs Forms download correctly with Nuget?

Here is the output from my console:
Adding XLabs.Forms...
Attempting to resolve dependency 'Xamarin.Forms (≥ 1.5.1.6471)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'XLabs.IoC (= 2.0.5782)'.

I am guessing you are using Xamarin Studio 6.0.2. More recent versions of NuGet are more strict when mapping portable class library profiles and this affects XLabs.Platform. There is a bug] opened on the XLabs GitHub repository for this problem.
Your options are:
- Use an older version of Xamarin Studio - 6.0.1 or older. Older versions of NuGet are not affected by this.
- Wait for XLabs to fix their NuGet package.
- Do not use NuGet. Download the .nupkg and extract the assemblies you need.
- Manually add the NuGet package to the packages.config file and extract the NuGet assemblies so you do not install the XLabs.Platform NuGet package using Xamarin Studio.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info, Matt.
matt...do you know how to do option 3 in OS X? Thank you
@nathan187 - If you go to nuget.org and search for the package there will be a download link on the page.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/XLabs.Platform/2.0.5782
Download link:
https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/XLabs.Platform/2.0.5782
If you rename the file extension from .nupkg to .zip you can then extract the files from the zip file.
nevermind...please disregard
