I am trying to figure out how to run a specific migration from the package manager in nuget.

I have tried to run:

 update-database -TargetMigration test32

But I do get this message:

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'TargetMigration'.

I read about that command from Microsoft's documentation to a previous ef version.

So I am not sure how it is in ef core.

According to EF Core Docs, correct parameter name is -Target (for EF Core 1.1) or -Migration (for EF Core 2.0)

so in your case: 

update-database -target test32

or 

update-database -migration test32

"Modern" way is to use "regular" command prompt and .NET Core CLI, and command like dotnet ef database update <target>
