VS 2017 .NET Core BinaryFormatter

Question

Is with VS 2017 released in the .NET Core tools BinaryFormatter included? When I create a .NET Core console application I cannot find BinaryFormatter. There are many Nuget packages but which one is the right one to get a working BinaryFormatter with .NET Core?

By the way it is a bit awkward to create with a released Visual Studio a project which does not compile. I need to start a cmd shell where my .NET Core console application resides and do a

dotnet restore

to get it to compile. Did I miss a VS command in the references menu?

Using Install-Package BinaryFormatter gives me an exception

EDIT

Thanks to @ClockEndGooner for pointing out, that People who are using .Net-Core 2.1 or later there is a Binary Formatter Located in:

System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary

Here is a nuget package for that it says it supports core as well:

Install-Package BinaryFormatter

I'm not sure if this contains what you need but is also the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters

Install-Package System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters

These packages work with .Net-Core 1.0 in order for them to work with a 1.1 enviroment you will require cross comiplation you can reference this Core Issue
