I'm using Visual Studo 2015 and I have Package Manager Console where I can run like 

PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json

Visual Studio seems to come with nuget, but what is the location of nuget.exe?

Or Package Manager Console doesn't use nuget.exe?

Visual Studio 2015 uses various NuGet assemblies but it does not itself include NuGet.exe.

NuGet.exe can be downloaded from the NuGet web site:
