I recently upgraded my .net core 2.2 project to .net core 3.0. When trying to add a migration I hit the following error:
add-migration : The term ‘add-migration’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.

+ add-migration events
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (add-migration:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
try again.

1) Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
2) Update-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
3) Get-Help about_EntityFrameworkCore
After running step three you should get something that looks like the following:
