 I am new to Asp.net Core. 
I have installed Entity FrameWork Package into my solution using the Nuget package. When I run the update-database command, I get the following error. 

Your project does not contain reference for EntityFramework. Ensure your target project is correct, install the package and try again.

This is my .csproj file
<itemgroup>
<packagereference include="EntityFramework" version="6.4.4">

What I have tried:

I've installed the Entity Framework package with the latest version..

That's not Entity Framework Core; that's Entity Framework 6 being used in an ASP.NET Core application. It should work, but the recommendation is to use Entity Framework Core for all new projects.

To use EF Core, you'll need references to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools. The latest released version for both is 3.1.8.

Now, that I have installed all the necessary packages, when i run the command update-database in my package manager console, it still throws error stating Your project does not contain reference for EntityFramework. Ensure your target project is correct, install the package and try again.

Make sure you've selected the default project in the drop-down list in the package manager console, and set the startup project to the one which contains the migrations.
