How to install ServiceStack without Nuget?

I have Visual Studio 2008 and I want to try ServiceStack to create a REST web API. The problem is that Nuget usually cannot be installed on VS2008. I have a zip with ServiceStack binaries, but I'm completely lost - I just don't know where to put them and what else I need to do. I am new to ServiceStack and have not touched VS after 5 years. I did not know about Nuget until I learned ServiceStack.

Alternatively, is ServiceStack working on a version of Visual Studio Express that I could use Nuget to install it with? I read that Express does not support extensions, so I don't think so. Let me know if I am wrong.

Alternatively, how do I get Nuget to work on VS2008? I found a web page telling about this, but her instructions obscured some key steps that I should not be aware of. I am sure that all this will make sense if I understand how it all worked, but I do not now. I am new and need all the relevant features.

Alternatively ... well, any other thoughts?

We also publish deployed builds in the ServiceStack / downloads project. Currently, the latest version is v3.9.28 , which is on NuGet.

/ downloads on ServiceStack contains most of the project DLL. That there are no specific suppliers, for example. OrmLite for alternative DBMS.

For them, the best place to get them is with the NuGet zip packages deployed on NuGet. i.e. get the OrmLite MySQL provider on OSX / Linux (or use the gnu tools for Windows), you can simply do:

wget -O ServiceStack.OrmLite.MySql.zip \ http://packages.nuget.org/api/v1/package/ServiceStack.OrmLite.MySql/3.9.28 unzip ServiceStack.OrmLite.MySql.zip 'lib/*'

which will unpack the dll in the local lib/ folder.
