After download the NuGet package, please unzip it to local folder, which will list all content of this package. Then add the dlls in the unzipped folder into your project through Add Reference.
For example, I download EntityFramework package from nuget.org site. It will show as entityframework.6.1.3.nupkg. I unzip this .nupkg file to local folder and there has a lib folder in this unzipped folder. Then I find the EntityFramework.dll and EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll in that folder. I add these dlls as reference into my project.
Another way install packages without Visual Studio is using nuget.exe. Please download it from https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe
Then open command prompt windows to run nuget.exe and use the command line to install the packages that you want. The detailed command line for nuget, please refer to:

Doc page where the download link from the answer can be found is e.g. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/install-nuget-client-tools
Or just download the file on nuget.org, rename the nupkg to .zip and voila.
The way the code is supposed to be distributed. Unmanaged and portable.

If you're on windows, you can install using the command:
winget install --source winget --id Microsoft.NuGet
