Error Installing dotnet tools in the cli

The Error

I was trying to install dotnet EF tools and got this error:

PS C:\juniper\test\Orders.EfPoc> dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
C:\Users\ddieppa\AppData\Local\Temp\mu2fjtmo.dfa\restore.csproj : error NU1301: Unable to load the service index for source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/repzio/729f155b-9685-408c-af3d-87fe3992cafa/_packaging/imcdi/nuget/v3/index.json.
The tool package could not be restored.


* You are attempting to install a preview release and did not use the --version option to specify the version.
* A package by this name was found, but it was not a .NET tool.
* The required NuGet feed cannot be accessed, perhaps because of an Internet connection problem.
* You mistyped the name of the tool.

Causes

This error cause is because in my Nuget.Config file I have a private feed that requires user and password, then it fails and does not allows me to continue to the next source The Nuget.Config file is normally located at %appdata%\NuGet\NuGet.Config

Solution

Just ignore the source failing and continue to the next ones

PS C:\juniper\test\Orders.EfPoc> dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --ignore-failed-sources
